Goat Pervertor is a black/death metal project from Greece, formed in 2023. They channel raw, blasphemous extremity from the Greek underground.

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.

Utah's Goat Surgeon have been practicing a methodical strain of death metal since 2017, dissecting their subject matter with surgical precision and zero mercy. Their craft rewards listeners who can stomach the procedure.
Goat the Head is a death metal band from Trondheim, active since 2011. They deliver aggressive death metal from Norway's third city.

Their 2017 debut Tormenting the Holy was recorded and mixed in just four days, yielding six tracks of raw, anti-religious aggression in twenty-one minutes.
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.
