GOATWHORE Sign With METAL BLADE RECORDS

July 20, 2004

GOATWHORE, the New Orleans-based band featuring vocalist L. Ben Falgoust II (SOILENT GREEN) and guitarist Sammy Duet (ACID BATH, CROWBAR),have signed a deal with Metal Blade Records. "We are all very excited about this and will be doing a new album with Metal Blade Records in mid-2005," the band said in a statement. "This is a very big step for us and will surely open up new doors for us to expand."

In other news, GOATWHORE have announced the addition of drummer Zack Simmons to the group's ranks. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, Zack "has been here since the beginning of June and has played one show (Scott Williams Benefit show) with us since his arrival," the band said.

Regarding GOATWHORE's upcoming touring activities, the group commented, "We have a very filled touring schedule 'hopefully' coming to a town near you. First off, we will be heading out from July 23rd to August 17th with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, CATTLE DECAPITATION, and WATCH THEM DIE. Then we will hit the road with the DEICIDE, CATTLE DECAPTIATION, and DIABOLIC from September 16th to October 12th leading into some dates with NAPALM DEATH and VADER that will take us to our end of the year tour with CANNIBAL CORPSE, NAPALM DEATH, VADER and KATAKLYSM in November."

GOATWHORE recently recorded a cover of CELTIC FROST's "Into Crypts of Rays" for a split 7" with EPOCH OF UNLIGHT (from Memphis, TN). The single, which also features EPOCH OF UNLIGHT's version of KREATOR's "Betrayer", is now available through Bloated Goat Records. Click here for audio samples of both tracks.
