Our Take
Our Take
Finnish black metal band GOATMOON's latest release, "What Once Was... Shall Be Again," is a whirlwind of darkness and aggression that will leave you feeling like you've been transported to the depths of hell itself. From the opening track, "Lament of the Beast," it's clear that GOATMOON are not messing around. The raw power and intensity of the music is matched only by the sheer brutality of the lyrics; this is not an album for the faint of heart.
One standout track is "Blood and Soil," a haunting anthem that delves into themes of nationalism and identity. The eerie melodies and guttural vocals combine to create an unsettling atmosphere that is impossible to ignore. Another highlight is "Black Metal Death," a blistering assault on the senses that will leave you breathless by the time it's over.
While GOATMOON may not be reinventing the wheel with "What Once Was... Shall Be Again," they are certainly proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the black metal scene. Fans of the genre will find plenty to love here, and even those who are new to black metal may find themselves converted after a few listens. So grab your corpse paint and prepare to be transported to a world of darkness and despair - GOATMOON are taking no prisoners with this one.
