Goatess-II:Purgatory Under New Management
Winner of the best album title of the year. Soooo….I’m going out on a limb and guess that at least one of the members of this band has listened to Black Sabbath.
If you are a Sabbath fan, you will probably enjoy this record. There are many, many, many Sabbath clones out in the world today. The retro-Metal movement is saturated and it takes someone with either a different spin or a really polished presentation to stand above the majority of the rabble. Goatess falls into this latter category. They aren’t breaking any new ground, but, dammit, they have a slab of some really catchy songs. Their lead singer used to front doom mainstays, St. Vitus, for a spell. His voice is downright Osbournian.
Once again, not much touring out of these boys. Hopefully that will change in the near future.
