Goatlord (band)
Goatlord was an extreme metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Biography
Goatlord began in 1985 although they did not release their first demo until June 1987. Their initial offering was a mixture of sludge and death metal only titled 1987 Demo. A cult following grew and tape-traders renamed this first demo as Forever Black Dwell in Hell, a line take from the song "Unholy Black Slut". Their second demo, Sodomize the Goat was a much deeper look into the Goatlord depravity and metallic sound. Goatlord began to change their musical style into a slower and more convincing mode of metal sound and continued to record only one more demo in 1991 before tensions grew about the band's progression. The majority of the members wanted to go towards a slower, more droning approach and the debate continued until vocalist Ace Stills ventured off with his own band Doom Snake Cult.
Goatlord's received a recording contract with Turbo Records and with their remaining members, began to work on their first full-length record without Ace. They had hired Mitch Harris of Napalm Death as their replacement vocalist. The entire album was recorded with Mitch as the vocalist and only a few last-minute adjustments needed to be compiled before mastering. At this time Ace returned and asked to rejoin the fledgling band. The remaining members conceded and briefly re-united. It was unknown to the band that when Ace laid down his vocal tracks for the album, he recorded over Mitch's vocal tracks, destroying them. There weren't any other versions of Mitch's vocals and those tracks are lost forever. While Mitch's vocals did not appear on that album his contributions to back-up vocals did make it on the Reflections of the Solstice album.
Goatlord (album)
Goatlord is a demo album by Norwegian band Darkthrone, released in 1996. The album was re-released by Peaceville Records in 2011, with new artwork approved by the band and a second disc containing commentary from Fenriz and Nocturno Culto.
Background
Goatlord was written in 1990 as the follow-up to Darkthrone's death metal debut album, Soulside Journey, and was recorded in late 1990 and early 1991 as an instrumental rehearsal tape. The album was scrapped when the band changed style from death metal to black metal in favor of A Blaze in the Northern Sky. Most of the lyrics for Goatlord were written in the autumn of 1990, with some additions in 1994 for the last two songs. The vocals were recorded in 1994 by Fenriz. The female-sounding vocals were also recorded by him, partly using pitch shifting.Satyr of the band Satyricon is credited for the opening screams in "Rex" and "Sadomasochistic Rites".

Possessed Soldiers Of War
by: GoatlordComing from earth's core death on a wing
possessed mutants of war
blackened church will rise taking with it
soldiers revenge from the graves
trying to get free ,masters enslaves
innocent victims of war
now not what they were tormented souls
darkness their only remorse
possessed soldiers of war
possessed soldiers of war
haunting a blackened sky
back from a lost grave
forever in limbo at night
possessed mutants of war
haunting a blackneded sky
back from a lost grave
ever...
soldiers unearthed from their grave
back to claim your life
you made them suffer so
you''''''''''''''''ll pay with your soul
