Goatwhore with support from:
Bulletbelt and Bonecruncher
Goatwhore were last on New Zealand soil supporting in 2012, immediately winning over audiences with their unique brand of extreme metal. The band returns in support of their critically acclaimed new album,Constricting Rage of the Merciless' Out July 8, 2014 on Metal Blade Records
It's been sixteen years since Goatwhore reared its menacing head from the swamplands of New Orleans, Louisiana - a city rife with urban tales of voodoo curses, witchcraft and hauntings by souls of the damned. Spawned by former Acid Bath/Crowbar guitarist Sammy Duet in 1997, their winding legacy follows a dramatic, at times traumatic, sequence of personnel changes, fatal injuries, paranormal activity, natural disasters, and a collection of other misadventures large and small. They say what doesn't kill you.... whether driven by an unwavering commitment to their craft, pure insanity, the divine powers of Satan or perhaps a combination of the three, Goatwhore forever perseveres, inadvertently establishing themselves as one the hardest working, consistently punishing live bands of the 21st century and a true institution of heavy music..
Inspired by the old guard of Celtic Frost, Slayer and Kreator but with a modern and vicious twist, Goatwhore are one of the most talked about bands in metal today. Featuring members from Acid Bath, Crowbar, Nachtmystium and Soilent Green, Goatwhore have risen to become legends in their own right. Join us for a night of Thrash, desecration, blasphemy and all the rituals of extreme metal with Goatwhore and our own warriors of the underground 66 fucking 6!!!!!!
