Big Easy Satanic metallers Goatwhore emerged in 1997 with a bludgeoning sound rooted in blackened death metal. Debuting in 2000 with The Eclipse of Ages into Black, the band added shades of sludge and thrash to lauded subsequent efforts like Carving Out the Eyes of God (2009), Constricting Rage of the Merciless (2014), and Angels Hung from the Arches of Heaven (2022).
