GOATMOON / RIDE FOR REVENGE SPLIT DLP ON NEGATIVE EXISTENCE
Finland's obscure black metalers GOATMOON and RIDE FOR REVENGE sold out split entitled "In the Spirit of Ultimate Sacrifice" will be reissued by Negative Existence as a Double LP.

The split presents two recordings from each band. The first record showcases four studio tracks from Goatmoon and three hymns from Ride For Revenge. The second record contains seven rehearsal tracks from Goatmoon and one droning epic from Ride For Revenge.

Although an exact date has not yet been set, "In the Spirit of Ultimate Sacrifice" is scheduled for release late this winter. The Vinyl LP will be limited to 250 copies and will be available from www.negative-existence.com as well as from other fine distributors. Pre-orders will be available soon.

GOATMOON's compositions offer a wide range of Scandinavian black metal from melodic passages with pagan / folk elements to hard hitting, no frills heavy metal. The captivating songs will plague the mind like a disease without a cure. GOATMOON's sole member, Blackgoat Gravedesecrator, demonstrates his musical expertise on all instruments heard. Perfectly executed drumming with layers of electric and acoustic guitar work crowned by harsh screams.

RIDE FOR REVENGE weaves a web of hypnotic and ritualistic minimalistic black metal. The song structures are largely rhythm based with repetitive mid paced percussion and extremely heavy bass in the forefront causing a trance like effect on the listener. The occasional use of synthesis adds to the overall murky sound. Although present, guitars play little role and are used in the background to create heaviness and, at times, atmosphere. Chanted vocals range from dirty growls to clean moans and are drenched in reverb / delay and complete the cold ambiance achieved on this recording.
