Black Metal, Death Metal |
Formed in 1989, Archgoat was one of the first Finnish black metal bands and played a style of black metal that was primitive and raw.
Comparisons are often made between them and Beherit, and there is a more noticeable death metal influence in Archgoat's music. After

Formed in 1989, Archgoat was one of the first Finnish black metal bands and played a style of black metal that was primitive and raw.
Comparisons are often made between them and Beherit, and there is a more noticeable death metal influence in Archgoat's music. After
releasing two demos and an EP (which was later to be used on a split with Beherit in 1999), Archgoat disbanded, citing the over-commercial
state of the black metal scene as their reason.
Archgoat reformed in 2004, and released an EP that contained remastered versions of tracks recorded in 1993. They retained their original
line-up of Lord Angelslayer (Vocals, bass); and Ritual Butcherer (Guitar), with the exception of Blood Desecrator, who was replaced by a
session drummer (Leneth the Unholy Carnager). Later, Sinister Karppinen joined the band as full-time drummer.
Archgoat released their long-awaited debut full-length, Whore of Bethlehem, in 2006 to mixed critical reception and a split with Black Witchery
is planned for the near future. « hide |
