fenriz you'd make purdy girl. fake female vocals aside this album is a must for darkthrone fans. it sounds like they took a bunch of acid and got lost in the woods. luckily they had instruments and a four track to document this demented and just plain BENT musical journey. this is by far my favorite darkthrone album. if you're not sure, trust me, this album is way too strange to go unheard.

I like that Nocturnal CultO and FenriZ decided to wait and release this great black metal album after Total Death.
It does show some death metal influences too (As Desertshadows and Virgin Sin show it most). Yet another great release from Darkthrone and Moonfog Records (why not PeacevillE if it was early stuff tho?)

was supposed to be darkthrones second release got pushed out for blaze in the northern sky blah blah blah, well anyway this is a very underrated album, the drumming is really really good on this cd sounds like fenriz was really getting into it, and the so called female vocals are not done by a female at all they are actully done by fenriz doing a chick voice which he does rather convincing.

This is a must have for darkthrone and black metal fans. Ok so you constantly hear about their first three classics but goatlord is just as good and perhaps a little better. They sound way more diverse on this album and really showcase their musical talent beyond the limited realm on standard black metal.

I find this to be one of my favorite DT records. It seems to have just a bit more character than some of the other albums due to its ugly sound. Of course i like all the other DT albums, but this one just keeps finding its way into my cd player. You know what to expect as far as production goes on a DT album, and here it gets even rawer and more low-fi...which is kinda cool for me...it sounds like a good demo, maybe recorded with just one or two room mics...cool artwork and packaging as well

yes, way too strange and excellent to pass by. These are tracks from rehersal tapes, sounds like the band is in a forest in the middle of winter, freaked out of their minds on just about everything. It's raw, cold, grim and evil sounding. When you hear a recording that is just so out there that it winds up sounding killer-that's the best way to sum up this gem from Darkthrone. Simply put: if you like any black metal, get this in your collection now before something screwy happens and it becomes out of print.

Unholy Black And Death Metal Forever!

Man, I was totally unprepared for what I was about to experience when I bought this. Instead of the breakneck speed we know and love them for, we have more of a doom and gloom sound here. Ghosts and hooded droids come to mind when hearing this album. I give this 4 stars because this album marked a transitional shift from death metal to unholy black metal that they're more famous for. Be sure to light candles in the dark and meditate while listening to this.

Somewhere between Death metal and Black metal we have Goatlord. High, Low, and utterly bizzare vocals accompany this album. Fenriz's drumming is inventive and while working with other instruments, also ventures on its own and really speaks with it's own voice. Guitarwork is very odd at times, and plays high and low end riffs. The bad production is an advantage I think. It adds to the atmosphere.

More playful and experimental than other albums, this is not their best work, which is probably "Under a Funeral Moon" or "Transilvanian Hunger", but attacks more openly than those two previous albums, that are more subliminal in approach.
