SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH - Violence
Dying Victims Productions
So for a decade now on or around my birthday I go out to dinner with a bunch of old friends. It's mostly about dinner but there's some drinking involved. OK there's a lot of drinking involved but not by me. I drink a little bit. Anyways one old friend of mine likes to give a toast to me at these gatherings. One time I remember him saying that I was the only person he knew that has a huge music collection with bands that have the words "wolf" or "goat" in their names.
Yeah that's funny because it's true. So when I see a band called SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH you're damm right I'm gonna check em out. What we have here is the debut full length by this German three piece Blackened Thrash act. Of course it gets better since the band members are Morbid Goatpriest of Lust, Filth and Mayhem on guitar and vocals. Their drummer goes by the name of Goat Primator and their bassist is the Goatess of Fire. Yeah ya gotta love those nom de plumes.
I had already given this release a listen and was a fan but learning all of the details about em made it better. SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH started out in 2012 but didn't put out stuff until 2019. From then to now the band has put out a bunch of demos and Split releases. Interested parties should check out the band's Evil Witchcraft & Sado Magic compilation from 2024.
Musically what we have here is a release with more Tom G Warrior grunts then the whole CELTIC FROST full length collection. Now does that mean this is a HELLHAMMER / CELTIC FROST worshiping retro act? Nah not really because I also hear some DARKTHRONE influence as well.
Actually what I hear on these ten tracks is a newer band taking some old sounds, running em through their own filter and creating something fresh as well as exciting to hear. I mean the vocals are insane to say the least. Lots of drunken shouting and screaming. The riff work is decent. I give props for the bass work being so prominent. And of course the drum work is fuckin damm good.
So yeah it's rude, chaotic sounding Blackened Thrash and Hessian Speed Metal. It's also an exciting listen throughout. In other words it's a perfect fucking album. I admit I'm an old fucker who always looks to find bands like this. As far as my peers go I don't know how they would go for SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH. But for the younger crowd who hate mainstream bullshit and yearn for the chaotic then here ya go.
