History

Archgoat had formed in 1989 in Turku, Finland. Their first demo was released in 1992, titled Jesus Spawn. In 1992, Archgoat landed a recording deal with Necropolis Records. In 1993, their MLP, Angelcunt (Tales of Desecration) was released. In 1993, Archgoat entered into a full-time studio deal with Necropolis, but there was a disagreement with terms and the material that was recorded had been kept from the public.[1]

In 1993, Archgoat went on hiatus, feeling that they did not belong in a commercial black metal scene. They returned once again in 2004 with the original lineup, and they released their 1993 material as a 7" EP, titled Angelslaying Black Fucking Metal through Hammer of Hate Records. During that time the original drummer was replaced with Leneth the Unholy Carnager, becoming the permanent drummer for Archgoat. Their show, First Live Black Mass concert was recorded in Finland in 2005. The latest CD, titled The Light-Devouring Darkness was released on February 9th, 2009.

Notes

Formed in 1989, Archgoat was among the first Black metal bands to evolve from Scandinavia. The ideology was heavily satanic and perverse, while the music differed from the typical Scandinavian Black metal bands being much more in the vein of raw grinding speed with some slower heavy parts. Band ceased from the Black metal scene during 1993 and surprisinly returned 13 years later in original line up.
