[edit] Biography

Goatlord began in 1985 although they did not release their first demo until June of 1987. Their initial offering was a mixture of Sludge and Death Metal only titled 1987 Demo. A cult following grew and tape-traders re-named this first demo as Forever Black Dwell in Hell, a line take from the song Unholy Black Slut. Their second demo, Sodomize the Goat was a much deeper look into the Goatlord depravity and metallic sound. Goatlord began to change their musical style into a slower and more convincing mode of metal sound and continued to record only one more demo in 1991 before tensions grew about the band's progression. The majority of the members wanted to go towards a slower, more droning approach and the debate continued until vocalist Ace Stills ventured off with his own band Doom Snake Cult.

Goatlord's received a recording contract with Turbo Records and with their remaining members, began to work on their first full-length record without Ace. They had hired Mitch Harris of Napalm Death as their replacement vocalist. The entire album was recorded with Mitch as the vocalist and only a few last-minute adjustments needed to be compled before mastering. At this time Ace returned and asked to rejoin the fledgling band. The remaining members conceded and briefly re-united. It was unknown to the band that when Ace laid down his vocal tracks for the album, he recorded over Mitch's vocal tracks, destroying them. There weren't any other versions of Mitch's vocals and those tracks are lost forever. While Mitch's vocals did not appear on that album his contributions to back-up vocals did make it on the Reflections of the Solstice album.

In 2007 Nuclear War Now Productions announced that it would release their CD The Last Sodomy of Mary. This album will contain 8 new songs that had never made it to any of their previous releases. There is some question to the band status as there are reports the band has broken up while others state a new album may be forthcoming in later 2007.
