“»Flesh Melting Doom Goat« is the first single from our upcoming second full-length record. This song delivers a punishing soundscape that blends thrash metal elements, sludge heaviness, and psychedelic atmospheres. Fueled by apocalyptic themes, this single sets the tone for the band’s next phase. »Flesh Melting Doom Goat« will be available on all major streaming platforms starting May 7th. A must-listen for fans of Carcass, Power Trip, and the Swedish death metal chainsaw sound.” – Hirkum
