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:

King Goat Sign to Aural Music

Progressive doom-mongers King Goat are excited to announce their signing with cult label Aural Music, marking the beginning of a very exciting new era for the band.

King Goat tease news of their highly anticipated second LP which is scheduled to arrive in early 2018. The band state: “Our latest recordings are further exploring the progressive elements of doom. We’ve pushed our dynamic boundaries further, experimented with songs in open tunings, more complex time signatures and more varied vocal textures. We’re eager to bring these new songs to the stage.”

Home of Ne Obliviscaris, Ephel Duath and more, Aural Music are also to re-release King Goat’s first EP and debut LP Conduit as one record – further details to be revealed over the coming weeks.

The momentous news continues King Goat’s steady rise as one of the most highly-regarded bands in British doom.

The band have previously played at Bloodstock Open Air, Mammothfest, Doom Over London; and alongside Enslaved, Grand Magus, Solstafir and others.

Live dates:
25th November: King Goat’s own Riffmass event, The Green Door Store, Brighton: https://www.facebook.com/events/219077765165942/

Buried in Smoke All-Dayer Set for Nov. 12

Posted in Whathaveyou on July 13th, 2016 by JJ Koczan

With 12PM doors and 13 bands on the bill, the Buried in Smoke All Dayer should most certainly live up to its name. The dirt-cheap and dirtier-heavy onslaught is set to take place Nov. 12 at The Bullingdon in Oxford, UK, and along with Desert Storm — who are also directly involved in putting the event and all of Buried in Smoke Promotions‘ shows together — the lineup boasts several noteworthy names out of the UK’s ultra-fertile underground heavy scene. Worth noting that Desert Storm fit right where they are in closing out the night, and to have them joined by Trippy Wicked and the Cosmic Children of the Knight, Grifter, Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters and Lacertilia at the top of the bill shows the utter strength of the scene in which this show is taking place.

No less encouraging, however, are the names toward the earlier part of the day: Morass of Molasses, King Goat, Mastiff, The Atrocity Exhibit, Black Skies Burn, The Darkhorse, My Diablo and Crimson Tusk. You’re doubtless already familiar with all of the above (also below), because you’re more in touch than I am and/or you live in the UK, but they would seem to represent a decent cross-section of underground rock and metal, and as always with this kind of gig, it’s as much about seeing the bands you don’t know as the bands you do.

At least that’s how it should work. Full lineup info and links follow here, as hoisted from the social medias:
