INFERNAL GOAT

Infernal Goat is a really really really promising raw Black band from Italy, no stupid melodies, whore vocals or others wimpy weird "open minded" stuff, brutal Black musick in your face!! I've talk with Antonio "Lord Impaler".

Classic 1st question; talk me about Infernal Goat's history.
Infernal Goat are born in '98 with me (guitar) & Lord Goat (Vox). We begin to compose the tracks who will be included into '99 promo & meanwhile join us Inri Iscariota (keyb.) who'll cover a temporary role playing only a promo's intro. Join us Terragon (Bass) & Fuckthenuns (drums). We record this promo with 5 tracks plus a Impaled Nazarene cover. After this 1st work we dismiss the Iscariota for musical incompatibility. After this split we work on 4 new tracks for the new demo "The Longest Day Of Pain" released in '00. Meanwhile we appeared on "Vox Mortus comp. II" and others like "Corrosive Hate I". Sergio Mazza of "Ordo Obscuri Domini" show interest in us and reprint the demo with a better distribution. Last our stage see the release of a new promo (2001) from the "Salem 1692" prod. from Belluno with 2 new tracks recorded in more professional way and 3 bonus tracks.

I've really enjoied your "no frills" approach, can you talk me like you compose the tracks?
Sure. Thank you for have remarked this aspect! We start from a basic guitar riff and then we work on the bass & drum rythms. Vocal lines is adapted at the end of this process.

Your prefered topics into lyrics? Talk me about the lyrics on "Bestial Passion" promo.
Usually is Lord Goat who write lyrics but all the band give some contributions, generally topics are anticlerical but also more personal arguments. In Bestial Passion we talk about a passion of a woman and a pig, "Revenge of Legions" is about a premonition on the final christians massacre.

What the meaning of Black Metal for you?
Black Metal for us is especially attitude & rage into music, like I've say more times everyone in this band applies a personal point of view but without doubt is a point of view really important for us.

Like you see the nowadays Black Metal scene? You don't fear who the success of some poser bands can kill the underground aspect of this type of music?
This is one of the negative aspects of the "massification" of Black Metalalso is true who some bands have conquered with hard work their "top" status (Marduk, Dark Funeral), however we continue in this way without follow trends. Who play true Black Metal know well who everyday he must work for live without using this music.

Some parts of Black Metal scene is now ideologized in a radical way, like you see this situation?
Well, this situation don't concern us today & in the future. In our band everyone is free to have his thoughts but without making propaganda of its through the band.

Yours actual listening? Last bands who have impressed you?
We follow underground BM scene but interesting bands are so many to mentions. Some of us listen also other kind of music.

You play in other bands?
Yes, everyone play in some Thrash/Black/Grind bands.

In your area how is the situation for extreme bands? You can play live?
Really bad situation, we haven't played live with Infernal Goat for lack of structures & peoples! It's impossible a local Black Metal
scene here!!

Have you contacts with other BM italian bands? Have you think to make collaborations?
We love underground Black Metal music, we try to have more contacts as possible. We hope to make some collaborations in future.

Like you see that bands who use keyboards or some dark ambient & folk elements in their sound?
NO COMMENT!

Well, thank you for the intie, to you the last word!!
Our solidarity go to the Chuck Shuldiner family's.our thank to you who support us and extreme music. Good luck with Coagulated rec.
