We here at The Goat Review embrace both the spooky in sound and in picture. Today, our own Scuttlegoat and Transcendental Goose Boss steps forward to recommend you an album from the wild, splattery death metal side, Death After Life (by Impaled), and a classic of splatstick sexual deviance, Re-Animator (by Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna). Partake in one or both or neither, just know that Death After Life and Re-Animator promise that there’s more to the end than a mouthful of dirt…

Ataraxie – Le Declín Review
Extreme metal can take many forms. But in this time of ours where acts try to out-Flanderize each other — essentially extremity fitting into the mold of extremity to be extreme — there is less and less that can actually be considered extreme. Ataraxie present their vision of funeral doom as a no-frills, heavily death metal inspired affair. It may be slow, but will it rush to the top of you doom metal essentials?

Vile Humanity – Disqualified as a Human Review
Deathgrind is a genre that has a lot of sonic variation, despite what someone unfamiliar with it may expect.

Will their album live up to the striking cover art and title?

Adorior – Bleed on My Teeth Review
Bleed on My Teeth is a relentless assault on the senses, a sonic maelstrom that threatens to consume all in its path. British band Adorior’s third full-length is a masterclass in chaos and destruction, with vocals from Melissa Gray aka Jaded Lungs that defy reason and convention. Ride the red wave.

Dawnwalker – The Unknowing Review
While previous Dawnwalker albums have explored the realms of “post” and prog, The Unknowing shifts into a more enigmatic and spectral realm. Norgate’s vocals, guitar and keys intertwine with an eclectic mix of contributions, discreet elements like the flute which give it a faint Jethro Tull vibe without ever feeling derivative. Call. Forth. The jazz flute. And adventure into the unknown.
