YEAR OF THE GOAT Awarded Best Debut Album By Metal Hammer; European Tour Confirmed

Angels’ Necropolis, the infernal maiden LP from Östergötland/Norrköping, Sweden-based outfit YEAR OF THE GOAT, received the heralded Best Debut Album by Metal Hammer.

On September 13th, YEAR OF THE GOAT reigned supreme at this year’s installment of the illustrious annual Metal Hammer award ceremony in Berlin, Germany, listed among heavy metal’s elite including Metallica, Slayer, Motörhead, Nightwish, Doro Pesch, Amorphis and others, in recognition of their blazing Angels’ Necropolis. Released in late 2012 worldwide through Ván Records — the cult label accountable for bringing The Devil’s Blood, The Ruins Of Beverast, Nagelfar and others into the spotlight — Angels’ Necropolis has reaped perfect scores and major features infiltrating print and online media outlets worldwide. The album delivers a brilliantly-executed and infectious blend of classic metal/occult rock harmonies. YEAR OF THE GOAT seemingly permeate the air around them with their art, rather than simply perform said riffery. The atmospheric permeation of the eight rituals which comprise their Angel’s Necropolis offering form the proper conditions to transport the listener to another plane of existence for over fifty minutes; a meditative state in tribute to Lucifer and his legions.

YEAR OF THE GOAT has also confirmed their upcoming schedule of live ceremonies with a thirteen-city tour this November, sponsored by German Rock Hard Magazine, including a performance at Hammer Of Doom VIII in Wuerzburg, Germany with Orchid, While Heaven Wept, Jex Thoth, Procession, Altar Of Oblivion, Age Of Taurus and others.
