Goatwhore

Combining the sounds of death metal and black metal, Goatwhore is a blackened death metal band that formed in 1997 in New Orleans. After the disbandment of his former band Acid Bath, singer/songwriter and guitarist Sammy Duet joined vocalist L. Ben Falgoust, guitarist Ben Stout, bassist Patrick Bruders and drummer Zak Nolan to record Goatwhore's 2000 debut album, The Eclipse of Ages into Black. On its follow up album Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sunk, released in 2003, the band turned to darker material, examining the disturbing aspects of human nature with a sludge metal sound. Goatwhore released its fifth studio album Blood for the Master, in 2012.
