Norway's Goatkraft has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a bestial mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Prophet Of Eternal Damnation" which will b e released in November by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very dark and apocalyptic sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction. All of t he musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly bestial growls and the faster sections of the songs bring in elements of war emtal and blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while high pitched black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording. A lot of t he music is heavily rooted in the old school war metal style along with the solos and leads also being done in a very chaotic style when they are utilized.
The songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, a brief ritualistic interlude can also be heard briefly as the album progresses before returning back to a more brutal direction as well as some of the faster sections of the tracks showing an influence of grindcore and Gregorian chants are also added on t he closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover black metal, death, hatred and destruction themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Goatkraft and if you are a fan of war and bestial black/death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Herald Of Death" "Prophet Of Eternal Damnation" and "Thermonuclear Genocide". 8 out of 10.
