Goatess Streams "Purgatory Under New Management"

Just in time for Easter, purgatory is now under new management! Goatess will release "Purgatory Under New Management" this coming April 15th, 2016 via Svart Records, and today another track from the album comes online. Check out the title track below.

"After all those shows, things kinda stagnated for a bit," admits vocalist and former Saint Vitus / Count Raven frontman Chritus Linderson, "to the point we ached to do something, so we decided to go into the studio again. This album is the result of that frustration and hardship during that limbo meantime."

Last year, Goatess parted ways with former four-stringer Findus. For a while, Izmo Hedlund (former Terra Firma drummer and currently in Atlantic Tide) replaced him, "but sadly, he had other obligations at an early stage and was prevented to commit further," the band states. Recently, although he lives in southern Sweden whereas the rest of the band is in Stockholm, Goatess hired Peter Wallberg from Void Moon and Assassin's Blade as a new permanent bass player.

The new album's track listing is as follows:

1. Moth to Flame
2. Purgatory Under New Management
3. Murphy Was an Optimist
4. Crocodilians and Other Creepy Crawling Shhh...
5. Shadowland
6. Silent War
7. Wrath of God
8. Good Moaning More...

Sunday Old School: Monstrosity

There are areas of the world that can always be relied upon to give you great metal. The Bay Area offers some of the best thrash bands of all time, as does New York, which also contains many of history's greatest hardcore bands. Britain has many legends of the game such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, in addition to the classic heavy metal sound of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, while a short trip east to Norway showcases many of the most beloved named in black metal. When it comes to death metal, perhaps one place more than any other can lay claim to being synonymous with the genre, the southern American state of Florida, which has given us such bands as Obituary, Morbid Angel and today's featured group, Monstrosity.

Monstrosity began life in Fort Lauderdale in 1990, the brainchild of former Malevolent Creation drummer Lee Harrison and Maryland native George "Corpsegrinder" Fischer. The duo were soon joined by another ex Malevolent Creation member, Jon Rubin and Cynic bassist Mark Van Erp. After slogging it out in the state scene, the band were eventually rewarded with a record deal with German label, Nuclear Blast. The label released the group's debut album, "Imperial Doom" in 1992, for which they were assisted in the recording by another Cynic member, Jason Gobel. The record was considered very successful, selling over forty thousand copies and receiving rave reviews from the metal press, as well as allowing them to tour Europe with Dutch technical death metal band, Pestilence.
