Archgoat – Heavenly Vulva (Christ’s Last Rites) (2011)

February 9, 2020

I’ll be honest with you, it was the cover art that drew me in here. It reminded me somewhat of the blasphemous inkings of Akercocke drummer David, and it was enough to draw me into Archgoat’s heretical and enormously noisy world. Heavenly Vulva (LOL) is not as abrasive as say, Blasphemy or Beherit, but it is a 15 minute uncompromisingly brutal attack in the style of black metal. It isn’t particularly “grimm” or even “khold”, but it absolutely fucking rips.
