From the metal abundant FINLAND, ARCHGOAT is one that nations great prodigies. After the ARCHGOAT'S amazing 1991 EP ."ANGELCUNT (TALES OF DESECRATION)", the band broke up. After a slow ascent back into the metal scene, ARCHGOAT have amassed their own brand of anti-christian black metal. 

Here ITP has the new ARCHGOAT release  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS". 

 ARCHGOAT'S  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" kicks off with a 50 second intro segued into "HEAVENS ABLAZE". 

ARCHGOAT'S "HEAVENS ABLAZE". is fast, crusty and blasphemous with excellent blast beat drumming and death, metal vocals. ."HEAVENS ABLAZE" is adorned by simple, punky riffs segued into melodic tones and interesting, atmospheric breakdowns. 

ARCHGOAT'S ."BLACK WOMB GNOSIS" pulverizes the listener with fast, gritty, punky riffs, excellent drumming and understated riffing. 

. ARCHGOAT'S  "ALL CHRISTIANITY ENDS" is slower, mid paced track with definitive, well written riffing...

  ARCHGOAT'S ' "IN EXTREMIS NAZARENE" switches up from mid pace to blasting euphoria quickly with crusty understated riffing and good death metal vocals via "LORD ANGELSLAYER". 

  ARCHGOAT'S "RATS PRAY GOD" is pure, sick, black metal. Primitive, crusty, fast with minimalist riffing, "RATS PRAY GOD" takes on a more technical riff segued into mid pacing as it flows along nicely...

ARCHGOAT'S "EMPYREAN ARMAGEDDON" summons the apocalypse with a good melodic mid paces riff, seguing nicely into blastbeats. The sound of whipping torture can be heard in the background as "EMPYREAN ARMAGEDDON" destroys all in the way.

 ARCHGOAT'S "BLESSED IN THE LIGHT OF LUCIFER" blast into oblivion with more melodic riffing, a cool spoken word breakdown and a cool mid paced transition. 

The title track of ARCHGOAT'S  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" features some disjointed, minimalist riffing (with blastbeats) before the track evens out with some mid paced, almost black and roll riffing and a cool variety of drumming. ...

  ARCHGOAT'S  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" closes with "BURIAL OF CREATION", a minimalist, primitive, slower paced track with awesome guttural vocals via "LORD ANGELSLAYER". At 2:58 into "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS", a new riff segues into the track "Hail Lord Satan, Hail the end", Hail Lucifer, Hail death", growls vocalist "LORD ANGELSLAYER" as the track ends in ambience. 

 ARCHGOAT'S  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" is a quality release of primitive blackened, death metal. The perfect mixture of the two genres, ARCHGOAT'S  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" takes you on a journey to the apocalypse right into the arms of Satanism. 

Featuring quality musicianship performed in a minimalist, punky style,  ARCHGOAT'S  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" reeks of the darkest atmosphere melded with break neck and mid paced tempo varieties. 

ARCHGOAT'S underrated songwriting is catchy after multiple listens as  "WORSHIP THE ETERNAL DARKNESS" is one the best releases of 2021. 

Finland does it again.
