GOATBLOOD (Ger) – Apparition Of Doomsday LP

Whereas GOATBLOOD’s previous two full-lengths kept to a many-tracks/short-length schematic – in essence, nodding to nascent grindcore like early Blood, Extreme Noise Terror, and Doom as they do to bestial progenitors Blasphemy and Beherit – here on Apparition of Doomsday do the duo blackgrind with the best of them, but often (and DEVASTATINGLY) downshift into righteously crushing ‘n’ hypnotic moments most Archgoated. As such, there’s still a hefty number of tracks (14 compared to its predecessor’s 18), but this significant shift is echoed in the new album’s more-flexed length of 46 minutes.
