GOATMOON
What Once Was... Shall Be Again

Fifth full-lenght
One of the most notorious names in the still-thriving Finnish black metal scene, GOATMOON has been an uber-prolific force of iron will since the band's creation in 2002, all guided by the monomaniacal hand of BlackGoat Gravedesecrator.
 

WEREWOLF RECORDS is proud to present GOATMOON's classic debut album, Death Before Dishonour, back on CD and LP formats again.

Originally released at the very end of 2004, back in darker times, Death Before Dishonour was the grand culmination of an intense demo period for monomaniacal mainman BlackGoat Gravedesecrator. During this period, GOATMOON exuded a ripped-raw and punk-oriented brand of Finnish black metal. Even at this stage, however, moments of iron-willed triumph 'n' tragedy - which would later blossom on subsequent albums, in a plausibly refined manner - crop up and create a unique disconnect that, somehow, is entirely Finnish. Above all, Death Before Dishonour is a distillation of times now long lost, when Finnish black metal was truly beginning to assert its dominance of the underground. Hear where the infamy began, or move on a coward.

GOATMOON's classic second album, Finnish Steel Storm
Originally released in 2007, Finnish Steel Storm is the album where GOATMOON truly came into its own and solidified a unique sound now revered far and wide. Here, monomaniacal mainman BlackGoat Gravedesecrator sharpened his previously punkish attack into gleaming black metal - ever distinctly Finnish, but now with a refinement that truly exuded the triumph 'n' tragedy at the heart of his aesthetic. And while he'd continue that refinement over subsequent albums, it was in this crucial year and on this crucial album where GOATMOON became one of Finland's most lethal (and most infamous) black metal bands. Banned in Germany, experience Finnish Steel Storm again, now with improved layout and on gold disc - forever may that storm roil and rage...
