WEREGOAT - Pestilential Rites of Infernal Fornication review

WEREGOAT - Pestilential Rites of Infernal Fornication

Iron Bonehead Prod




I first got bitten by the WEREGOAT back in 2011 with their Unholy Exaltation of Fullmoon Perversity EP. Back then in my review of it I said: "I'd like to take this release and shove it down the throat of anyone in the metal media who pushes the notion that in order for black metal to survive it must progress. Then watch their chest explode as the Weregoat comes out of the bloody hole like the creature from Alien. From that point on maybe the Weregoat goes North to some mushroom farm and massacre a bunch of cascadian hippies. Although I heard on the news that they all got buried in an avalanche which makes me feel sorry for the snow." You can read the full review here:

So yeah it's safe to say WEREGOAT's debut had an effect on me but hey what was not to like. You've got a three piece act from Portland, Oregon who, along with this endeavor, are members from other area bands churning out doom, death and various blasphemous filth. Obviously they're not out to make nice with their PC peers from their area of operations. Especially when you release an EP, their second from 2013, Slave Bitch of the Black Ram Master. They also have a couple of split releases to their credit: Disciples of War from 2012 with DIOCLETIAN and Jesus Fucking Wept vol​.​1 from 2015 which is basically a comp that they contributed two songs to. I highly recommend you get all of their releases.


As far as this full length goes, again what's not to love? It's bestial blackened death with BLASPHEMY and BEHERIT as major influences on the dark side and just choose any deviant death metal reprobates on the other. I said in the past that WEREGOAT give off an "atmosphere like that of a charnel house." It still lives up today especially with songs like "Molested by Evil", "Under the Whip", "Forked Tongue Lashes Between the Virgin's Thighs" and of course "Screaming Forth Endless Blasphemies and Emitting Foul Seed upon the Pitiful Face of Benevolence". Plus we're looking at the album cover of the year here folks. Nuff Said.

NECROBLOOD - Collapse of the Human Race review

NECROBLOOD - Collapse of the Human Race

Iron Bonehead Prod. / Amor Fati Prod.




Well this band's two minute intro leaves nothing to the imagination as to what they're all about. Now while some of their compatriots in the French underground metal scene would musically have your mind, body and soul  crushed and ripped to pieces. NECROBLOOD have a more inviting style of blackened death metal that actually includes some headbanging riffs along with swearing your allegiance to Satan and being baptized by the Devil's cum. Yeah I know it sounds kinda rough but hey my wedding night was worse.


As I just alluded to NECROBLOOD hail from France and are part of their burgeoning extreme metal underground. Albeit they are not new themselves and I know because I reviewed their self titled two song 7"er about five or six years ago. That one was pretty rough and after indulging myself into this their debut full length I'm glad to see they've grown from being just a thrashy blackened death act. Although with a name like NECROBLOOD and you have a song called "Goat Cult Command". What was not to love?

Let's fast forward to the now and here on Collapse of the Human Race this four piece act harnesses past influences from the usual suspects (think BLASPHEMY and INCANTATION) and really doesn't move the needle forward at all. For some people that's a bad thing which is why those types can fuck off. NECROBLOOD are a primal shitstorm of blackened death brutality with hints of melody, an occasional drift into thick atmospheric fog of riffage and of course blast furnace vocals. And hey with a song titled "Baptised by Devil's Cum", what's not to love?
