GOATWHORE • Blood For The Master (180gr) • LP

Metal Blade Records
180g  Vinyl, alternative artwork, limited to 300 copies

Leading through a labyrinth of different moods and meticulously precise tempo changes, Blood For The Master is never predictable. The band's fifth album is as memorable as it is menacing, groaning under its own heaviness. Led by the iconoclastic lectures of the sharp-tongued Falgoust and completed by the massive wall of guitars and unconditional drum and bass salvos, the record once again questions the legitimacy and authority of God and explores the ritual of death. Endowed with a poetic, almost occult grace, songs like the powerful opener "Collapse In Eternal Worth," "Embodiment Of This Bitter Chaos" or "In Deathless Tradition" present Falgoust in a leading role.

Falgoust, crowned "one of the best live and studio vocalists in metal history" by the Canadian website Hellbound, says: "I always have a lot of words ready!" he explains. "I don't like to repeat things, but I've started using more chorus-verse-chorus on this album. That way I let the music breathe more!"
