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.
