King Goat Sign to Aural Music; Conduit Reissue Due Dec. 8
Posted in Whathaveyou on October 5th, 2017 by JJ Koczan
UK doomers King Goat have signed to Aural Music to release a new album in 2018. Before they get there, the Italian imprint will also reissue the Brighton five-piece’s 2016 debut full-length, Conduit, in December, compiled with bonus tracks culled from the prior self-titled EP the band first put out in 2014. It’s a striking blend of doom groove and more straightforward, prog-tinged metal that King Goat elicit, and if they’re a new entity for you as they are for me — which I’m sure they’re not because you’re way more hip to what’s going on than I am, if history is anything to go by — you can get a handle on the original release of Conduit below, streaming in full from King Goat‘s Bandcamp. Because convenience.
And here’s word from the PR wire. Because information:
