In anticipation of the much-acclaimed record’s release, Year Of The Goat will not only embark on an album release tour starting this weekend in Sweden (find all upcoming dates listed below), but have unveiled the title track »Trivia Goddess« alongside an official music video! On this majestic yet evil single, the band takes listeners into “the great noise”, when over the course of 8 years 280 people were accused, convicted, and executed for the crime of witchcraft.
With »Trivia Goddess«, Year Of The Goat provides a haunting soundtrack for this dark age, invoking Hekate – the Greek goddess of witchcraft, the mother of all witches, the »Trivia Goddess« herself – paying homage to all those lost souls.
About the new video clip the band comments:
“Many have told us they wanted a bloody revenge in the end of »The Power Of Eve« video, the girls who were about to be burnt for witchcraft should have had their revenge, they said. We’re saving the blood for last, when running out of video budget you make a low budget horror film themed video that gives the term witch hunt a new meaning. They’re coming for you! Run!!!”
Following the opening installations of the band’s album trilogy, the award-winning »Angels Necropolis« (2012), and the much-acclaimed »Novis Orbis Terrarum Ordinis« (2019), »Trivia Goddess« ventures off on its own unique detour. Inspired by the most harrowing moments in women’s history, »Trivia Goddess« sees the Norrköping, Sweden-based dark rock collective delve deep into the stories of real women, devalued as the lesser sex by churches and by men of a petty god, rising up against the real structures of evil in the world, in true Satanic fashion.
Mixed by Tom Dalgety at Psalm Studios, Wiltshire, UK, and mastered by Magnus Lindberg / Magnus Lindberg Productions, Year Of The Goat returns to the scene more majestic, epic and melodic, while also sounding more evil than ever. The wait for a new studio album was worth it, as »Trivia Goddess«, driven by the dark sounds of the 60s and 70s, sees the band doubling down on all expectations, showcasing their many facets with grandeur. Bow down to the »Trivia Goddess« from the one and only Year Of The Goat!
