New York's Goat Penis occupy the furthest extreme of slam and brutal death, compressing deathcore breakdowns, gutturals, and grind-adjacent blasting into one relentless assault. Formed in 2022, they wear their ugliness as a badge of honor.
Goat Pervertor is a black/death metal project from Greece, formed in 2023. They channel raw, blasphemous extremity from the Greek underground.
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.
