Antwerp, Belgium-based speed metal band B\u00fctcher issue second full-length studio album 666 Goats Carry My Chariot<\/em> on January 31st, 2020 through Osmose Productions.<\/p>\n

The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

Vocalist R Hellshrieker commented: \u201cWe have worked tremendously hard to make this a unique output in the overabundance of digitally altered releases. The sonic layers of analog mayhem that have shaped our identity on the first album were molded once again in the Voodoosound Studios, but this time with a clear focus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the previous experience under our belt, there was far less need for experimenting with all the vintage equipment, and we took the opportunity to include every detail that accentuates the deeper layers of the songs. This brings it as close as possible to the vision that main songwriter KK Ripper and I intended for this LP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album was recorded in just one week, a very short timespan for an analog recording – where the title song, for instance, uses all 24 tracks on the tape! – and with LV Speedh\u00e4mmer laying down the drums after only joining the band one \/ two weeks prior to the recordings. It was a turbulent period for the band, dealing with last minute line-up changes and constantly playing live shows during most of the year. But it has paid off – the album lives, it thrives, it breathes with vicious abandon, and it assaults the mind of the listener.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne can almost taste the anger, the tenacity, the strength and the perseverance on this. In the face of adversity, the album was constantly playing in our heads, and KK Ripper has just pumped out riff after riff, lead after lead, the way he composed it. I turned my lungs into leather for this and screamed out all my frustrations. And now it is a victory for us to be able to present this full-length effort in its splendid glory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a sublime mastering by Arthur Rizk, this album seems to be played straight from mount Olympus, and granted both grandeur and destructive power by the thunderbolts of Zeus himself. The album flows from pure speed \u2018n\u2019 heavy metal over extreme thrash, to a black \/ speed \/ heavy metal hybrid on side B.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo accompany our mixture of metal, there was only ever going to be the epic artwork of none other than Kris Verwimp. To B\u00fctcher, there is simply no better way to use that as the finishing touch for an Osmose release. We couldn\u2019t have been more proud of the result. And the time for absolute vengeance, and our Second Prayer in service to the Godz Of Steele, is nigh.\u201d<\/p>\n

666 Goats Carry My Chariot<\/em> was recorded at Voodoosound Studio in Ijmuiden, Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by Kris Verwimp.<\/p>\n
