GOATWHORE – The Eclipse Of Ages Into Black (CD) Jewel Case

GOATWHORE (NOLA, USA) - The Eclipse Of Ages Into Black (used CD copy) (2000) Released by Rotten Records in a standard jewel case w/clear tray. Recorded & mixed inconsistently during the months of June - September 1999, on numerous days and nights at Festival Studios.

The band's debut full-length studio album "The Eclipse Of Ages Into Black" is clearly Black Metal and clearly influenced by it's Norwegian counterparts. But GOATWHORE has also added their own twists to the genre. It would probably be better to refer to them as a Blackened Death Metal band, but there aren't very many noticeable Death Metal influences on this album.

Also the production quality is very good, and the album has a very clear sound to it, unlike other black metal albums. The guitar work and drumming are probably the most obvious influences of Death Metal on the album, which are mid to fast paced in their playing, and are somewhat heavier than typical Black Metal. -- Rotten Records – 3006-2
