New Jersey's Goat Piss deal in blackened death metal with a distinctly caustic personality — venomous, lo-fi, and deeply unconcerned with polish. Since 2021, they've channeled pure contempt into a reliably ferocious output.
Goat Sabbath is a death/black metal act from Halle an der Saale, Germany, formed in 2020, blending death metal's brutality with black metal's atmospheric darkness. The band takes their name from the legendary witches' sabbath, reflecting occult themes.
Goat Sperm is a raw black metal project from Saarbrucken, Germany, formed in 2018, delivering uncompromising, lo-fi black metal with maximum filth and aggression. The project operates at the most primitive end of the German raw black metal underground.
Massachusetts' Goat Thrower have been fusing thrash's kinetic urgency with black metal's frost-bitten atmosphere since 2008, producing a sound that's hard, fast, and genuinely hostile. One of the longer-running acts in this corner of the underground.
Goat Torment is a blackened metal duo from Ghent active since 2008, whose members Kwel and Torturer describe their music as "a weapon of mass destruction." Signed to Season of Mist, they have released Dominande Tenebrae (2013), Sermons to Death (2015), and Forked Tongues (2021), the latter praised as a blast furnace of primal satanic fury.
Goat Vomit Noise is a black/death metal band from Ancona on the Adriatic coast of the Marche, formed in 2020. They deliver raw, chaotic extreme metal from the Marche regional capital.
Goat Worship is a black metal act from Vejle, Denmark, formed in 2014, delivering ritualistic, goat-centric black metal from the east Jutland city. The band channels bestial worship through raw Scandinavian black metal.
Goat Worship is a one-man black metal project from Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, formed in 2013 by the sole musician known as Hades. The project has released three albums — Blood and Steel (2016), Shore of the Dead (2018), and Breathing a Dark Past (2019) — each drawing on the primitive speed and rawness of early Bathory and Venom. Shore of the Dead in particular earned attention for its crusty, filth-laden take on first-wave black metal aesthetics.
Goatagon is a black metal and melodic black metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2024, with releases The Gates of Manala and When All the Gods Have Fallen drawing on Finnish mythology. Their work channels both the ferocity of black metal and the melodic sensibility of the Finnish school.
