Prepare to be engulfed in a maelstrom of diabolical metal as Canada’s Thirteen Goats announces the release of their second album “Capricorn Rising” that comes out on July 12, 2024, via Exitus Stratagem Records. Combining ferocious riff-driven bangers with darkly humorous lyrics, Thirteen Goats delivers a unique blend of extreme metal that will intrigue metalheads around the world. They are teasing this new release with a clip of their upcoming lyric video for “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing”. The band comments on the album:
“Thirteen Goats is back with even more furious riffage and even less respect for arbitrary subgenre boundaries. This time out, we swing for the fences with a “death metal rock opera” that tells the origin story of our mascot, Shepherd, while remaining true to the themes of our earlier work: humanity’s propensity for violence, the way power corrupts, and the urgent need for our species to find a better way together or ultimately face destruction.”
It’s been two years since the release of their debut “Servants of the Outer Dark”, and they’ve worked their asses off to bring everything fans loved about that record back with a vengeance - the frenzied fretwork, the humongous hooks, and the subtly humorous lyrics that mask much darker and more serious subjects. They’ve also worked hard to focus these elements into an offering that is more unified and consistent than anything they’ve done to date.
Is it thrash? Death? Groove? Thirteen Goats don’t care, and neither should you. This Vancouver four-piece tramples all over subgenre conventions to create an alchemical style of infernal riffs, huge hooks, and uniquely theatrical songwriting. They are recommended for fans of Carcass, Lamb of God, and System of a Down.
