New Orleans, Louisiana-based extreme metal band Goatwhore have filmed a music video for the title track of their latest album Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven<\/em>. Directed by David Brodsky (My Good Eye), the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Goatwhore issued eighth full-length studio album Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven<\/em> on October 7th, 2022 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI would describe this record as being very raw, but clarity is shaped within the chaos,\u201d commented vocalist Louis Ben Falgoust II. \u201cIt\u2019s a journey of everything we\u2019ve done and some new approaches as we advance forward. When we write, we mainly focus on the music and what we enjoy about playing it. We don\u2019t write just to appease others. We want to enjoy playing it in a live setting as well, especially night after night on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven<\/em> marks the recording debut of bassist Robert \u201cTA\u201d Coleman.<\/p>\n

Lyrically, Falgoust draws from a wide array of influences. \u2018Death From Above” is loosely based on the \u201cNachthexen\u201d, or Night Witches, a group of female Soviet aviators in a bomber division deployed in 1942, a period during which women were in fact barred from combat. For the title track, meanwhile, Falgoust ventured into an idea of emotional despondency within older texts and writings, feeling like several of these writings missed an element of human nature \/ emotion. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a basis of human despondency, the arc of life, and its relationship with the personal abyss of overwhelming emotion and thought,\u201d elaborated Falgoust. \u201cIt\u2019s mixture of esoteric ideas and biblical scripts and the journey to the places some people care not to venture on mental paths\u2026 The rise and fall of the self and how the abyss can be a turning point for some and a passageway to oblivion for others. It\u2019s blunt and to the point, just like countless aspects of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jarred Pritchard acted as producer for the second time, with tracking taking place primarily at Studio In The Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana. \u201cHe has a good vision of what we are doing and trying to present,\u201d said Falgoust. \u201cHe tests you and forces the best performances out of you. Not in a bad way, just that he knows what each person could do prior to us entering the studio, so he has a level of expectation to push each one of us to our own individual performance levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurt Ballou handled mixing. \u201cKurt actually brought a lot to the table,\u201d reckoned guitarist Sammy Duet. \u201cHe had some opinions on a few of the song structures, which was a first for us because we never had an outside ear giving ideas. The sound of the record speaks for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mastering was conducted by Ted Jensen.<\/p>\n

Sigils for Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven<\/em> were created by longtime collaborator Jordan Barlow. \u201cWe give him an idea and then he just goes with it,\u201d said Falgoust. \u201cWe used sigils in the past with our name and other small details, but wanted to make this album more rooted in it. It adds a deeper aspect to our visual presentation. It creates interest and with that inspires questions. We want the listener to delve into this musical journey with us both by sound and vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by David Brodsky, a music video was filmed for the track \u2018Born Of Satan\u2019s Flesh\u2019. \u201cPrepare yourself for an unabashed violent onslaught of Satanic unsoundness of mind! All hail his Luciferian force and might!,\u201d commented Duet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome to the manifested curse of our latest offering,\u201d added Falgoust. \u201cDuring the past five years since our Vengeful Ascension<\/em> release, entwined with a state of isolation within that period, we have been communing with our inner abyss for inspiration. Idle time is truly the Devil\u2019s workshop. Feast your eyes (and ears) on this latest display of chaos, which is but a fragment of our impending full length release out in October!\u201d<\/p>\n

The clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Seventh studio record Vengeful Ascension<\/em> was released<\/a> in June 2017 via Metal Blade.<\/p>\n
