GOATWHORE continues to tour in support of Vengeful Ascension, released last June via Metal Blade Records. Their seventh full-length – captured at Earth Analog with longtime soundman and comrade Jarrett Pritchard (1349, Gruesome, Wolvhammer) – serves as the band’s highest charting album to date and continues to reap the praise of fans and critics alike. MetalSucks named Vengeful Ascension the band’s, “most vital album since 2006’s A Haunting Curse,” and one, “guaranteed to frighten your grandmother directly into her grave.” Loudwire noted, “Vengeful Ascension has extremity black metal fans will dig, groove that will appeal to death metal aficionados, and potent guitar work thrash lovers can appreciate.” Blabbermouth hailed, “Vengeful Ascension proves that the band is firing on all cylinders, standing tall as one of extreme metal’s leading bands.” Exclaim concurred crowning Vengeful Ascension, “one of the band’s strongest offerings to date.”
Vengeful Ascension is out now on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. To preview and purchase the record, visit metalblade.com/goatwhore.
