Year of the Goat has to date released three albums, two EP’s and two 7” singles. During 2023 the work on their fourth album begun parallell with working on filling the Finnish upcoming movie ”Heavy Trip 2” with their particular brand of music. The music of ”the Goats” has its roots in the darker rock scene of the sixties and seventies, filled with melodies, heartfelt vocals and layers of eerie guitars, vocal harmonies, organs and mellotrons. The latest release has gotten quite some traction, in German rock magazines Rock Hard and Metal Hammer, for instance, it reached a #1 respectively #3 in the two magazines version of a ”soundcheck”. ”It pleases us a lot, since we have fond memories of playing the Rock Hard festival and winning a Metal Hammer Award”, the band said. The band has played at several festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Summer Breeze, Sweden Rock, Metaltown, Tons of Rock, Roadburn, Hammer of Doom, Jalometalli and many more. Year of the Goat was formed back in 2006 and released their debut in the form of an EP, ”Lucem Ferre”, in 2011 to be followed up by the award winning ”Angels’ Necropolis” in 2012. The follow up, ”The Unspeakable” came in 2015 and was preceded by an EP as well. It to got quite a lot of great press and was followed up by tours and festivals. A single with two cover songs from Françoise Hardy was released in 2016 and followed by a tour in the winter of 2017. The A-side was suitably the wonderful tune ”Song of Winter” and the B-side, ”Strange Shadows”. It took a few years, but finally the third album is out there, and a damn fine one it is. Great reviews and high ratings across the board.
