"Their most varied record to date. Songs sear with an old-school, punk propelled urgency that comes from years of Motörhead, Venom, and Hellhammer worship." 4/5 Revolver Magazine
"the band's tightest, most guitar-driven offering to date. An unholy smorgasbord of rigid tempo shifts, gargantuan hooks, blasting black mass anthems and Falgoust's soot and venom snarl" Decibel Magazine
"Like a modern day, roid injected sword fight between Celtic Frost and Venom - a must have for anyone who has every raised a set of horns - some of the purest metal that 2009 will bear witness to." Outburn Magazine
"This is the catchiest album Goatwhore have ever released." MetalSucks.net
"Carving Out The Eyes Of God is one of our top-3 releases of 2009. Hands down." TheGauntlet.com
"GOATWHORE have gone above expectations this time around - destined to be their version of The Blackening by MACHINE HEAD for their genre as they have perfected their art and this album will turn up in many 'Best Of' lists for 2009!" perfect 10/10, SMNnews.com
"The 10 tracks could make even the most stubborn Nordic black metal fans squirm, as the stabbing and slashing guitars and Ben Falgoust's dark sermon growling never have sounded better." The Daily News McKeesport
"one of 2009's purest metal albums, one that could very well end up to be considered the quartet's watershed release…nefariously black and sadistically thrashing in a way that is uniquely GOATWHORE." Blabbermouth.net
"Ben Falgoust, one of the best live and recorded singers in metal history." Hellbound.ca
About the band:
Emerging from the swamplands of New Orleans, Louisiana — a city rich with urban legends of voodoo curses, ghosts and murder — Goatwhore was formed in 1997 by guitarist Sammy Duet (Acid Bath, Crowbar, Ritual Killer etc.). Their history is a winding one marked by lineup shifts, temporary paralysis, haunted studios, and the survival of one of the five most destructive hurricanes in US history. Influenced by the raw savagery of bands like Venom and Celtic Frost, their unrefined, fuck-all approach to black metal first revealed on the Serenades To The Tides Of Blood demo and expanded upon on the now legendary Eclipse Of Ages Into Black debut nearly a decade ago earned the band instant underground credibility.
In an oversaturated metal landscape where sub-genres spawn sub-sub-genres and the very definition of "metal" seems blurred by cross-pollinating madness, sacred are the bands who stay true to their roots. Goatwhore spew the sort of sinister, fist-clenching, speaker-searing sound that made metal so forbiddingly enticing in the first place. The year of the 'Whore is truly upon us! Carving out the Eyes of God was released June 23rd, 2009.
GOATWHORE is:
Ben Falgoust - vocals
Sammy Duet - guitar
James Harvey - bass
Zack Simmons – drums

“some of the purest metal that 2009 will bear witness to.” Outburn Magazine
“This is the catchiest album Goatwhore have ever released.” MetalSucks.net
“Carving Out The Eyes Of God is one of our top-3 releases of 2009. Hands down.” TheGauntlet.com
“The 10 track could make even the most stubborn Nordic black metal fans squirm, as the stabbing and slashing guitars and Ben Falgoust’s dark sermon growling never have sounded better.” The Daily News McKeesport
“GOATWHORE have gone above expectations this time around…destined to be their version of The Blackening by MACHINE HEAD for their genre as they have perfected their art and this album will turn up in many ‘Best Of’ lists for 2009!” perfect 10/10, SMNnews.com
“Carving Out The Eyes Of God represents GOATWHORE immediately at their most lethal and unconventional and comes with high recommendations.” MetalEater.com
“heavier and even more blasphemous” 3.5/4 skulls, Fangoria.com
“Goatwhore finally captured the power of their live performance on disc…by far the bands best effort to date.” GASPetc.com
BEHEMOTH
“stripped-down and explosive” About.com’s #2 album of August 2009
“Behemoth are unstoppable.” DecibelMagazine.com
“their ultimate masterpiece” 4/4 skulls, Fangoria.com
“a trve masterpiece” Ultimate-Guitar.com
“They’re just as violent as they’ve ever been, and have become masters of synergy in ways lesser bands will never come close to achieving.” MetalReview.com
“It sounds like it took heartfelt effort instead of simple force and rage alone, but at the same time refraining from treading into overdone, hokey self-consumption. It brings on an almost physical reaction rather than just an aural sensation, and that’s very commendable.” MetalReview.com
“Behemoth produce some of the most technical, intelligent, and turbulent Metal available in today's market…they're firmly cemented among the extreme Metal elite.” Metal-Rules.com
“Intelligently manifested, well-researched works…nine albums into his mission, Nergal’s inner flame is nowhere near extinguished, which can either be a terrifying or tantalizing thought.” The Daily News McKeesport

“Ruination, their sophomore full-length, sees Job For A Cowboy out to silence their detractors with sheer blunt force trauma, every track precisely honed and crushingly heavy in execution.” Outburn Magazine
"JOB FOR A COWBOY just keeps getting better and better.” The Onion
“It’s frightening, dangerous and short, and instead of just throwing sh*t against the studio wall and seeing how it sticks, JFAC are actually art-chitects of a technical and transgressive style of music.” ultimate-guitar.com
“…riffs and pummeling double-bass rhythms combine the intricacy of Decapitated with the raw fury of Darkest Hour.” AltPress.com
“an extremely well written and powerful album of pure Death Metal dominance.” Fangoria.com
“they came out like a 'roid-ragin' cage-fighter with "Ruination"; a far more focused and schooled effort than its predecessor.” Blabbermouth.net
“As with any band, it’s great to be able to blast ahead at breakneck speed, but knowing when to pull it back, find the hole, and fill it with something tasteful is when a band truly learns the art of songwriting and the young lads of JFAC have learned this at an early age.” SMNnews.com
“Ruination is a much more violent effort than Job for a Cowboy's debut.” Live-Metal.net
“with Ruination, Job For A Cowboy’s musical prowess has caught up with the hype.” about.com
“Ruination is 100%, grade-A death metal.” MetalUnderground.com

Goatwhore joins forces with DevilDriver and Suffocation on “Bound By The Road” tour in 2010!
The mighty Goatwhore will be returning to the road in 2010 with veteran metal icons, DevilDriver and Suffocation! This will be their first tour back in North America following their upcoming European tour and is continuing the support for what is fast becoming their defining album, Carving Out The Eyes Of God. The Onion’s avclub.com declares Carving… as one of the top 30 metal albums of the decade and comments: “Ben Falgoust’s vocals and lyrics go way, way over the top, and Sammy Duet’s guitars sound more savage than ever. Both a culmination and a progression, Goatwhore reminds listeners why metal has a reputation for being terrifying.”
And, as always, Goatwhore will be equipped with their always tight, always furious, engaging live show, led by Ben Falgoust’s commanding presence and Sammy Duet’s one-man guitar attack. Zack Simmons’ on drums and new addition, James Harvey on bass, provide one of the tightest and most caustic rhythm sections in metal. This will be a tour not to miss.
