We've been really pumped about the possibility of new Goatwhore this year and it looks like we're going to get it.
The band kicked off the year by heading to Florida to work with Hate Eternal frontman and producing mastermind Erik Rutan on the record. Earlier today, Rutan released a statement announcing the album was complete:
“The Goatwhore album is now mixed and just mastered by Alan at WWSM. I could not be more proud of all our efforts. This is my 4th album with GW and their loyalty and commitment is something I respect tremendously. To record mostly to analog was incredible and the results exemplify that. Amazing tones and performances. This is the real deal!! It takes a lot of guts to record an album to tape in a day and age of metal where conformity and sterility are more commonplace then originality and vibe.
It has been 9 years since I have recorded anything to 2 inch tape, since Hate Eternal ‘I Monarch‘ and Soilent Green ‘Confrontation‘, but I guarantee it won’t be my last!! I cannot wait for everyone to hear this album and I give Goatwhore my complete and utter respect. It has been an honor to work with Goatwhore once again and I thank them for bringing out the best of me!!! PERFORMANCE OVER PERFECTION!!!”
I feel like Erik Rutan is not a person who gets excited easily, so if he is this enthusiastic about the album, I'm pumped! Hopefully, we'll hear the new album by the summer.
Goatwhore are gearing up for the Metal Alliance tour with Behemoth and 1349. Dates here.
