***Through its output over the past twenty-five years, Goatpenis has rightfully earned its reputation as one of the most venerable black metal bands in existence. Hailing from the Santa Catalina region of southern Brazil, and following a relatively brief stint as the death metal act, Suppurated Fetus, this cult resumed its homeland’s legacy of bestiality first established by Sarcófago, the band’s ancestral compatriots from the Minas Gerais region to the north, with its earliest demos, htaeD no tabbaS, Blessed by War, and Jesus Coward, in the early 1990s. After a period of several years of lineup changes and intermittent hiatuses, Goatpenis redefined its sound and aesthetic with the release of its debut full-length, Inhumanization, in 2004, and the band subsequently released four more albums over the next decade and a half.Beginning most obviously with the 1993 demo, Blessed by War, and continuing on through to its newest, sixth album, Anesthetic Vapor, hereby fittingly offered under the auspices of Nuclear War Now!, Goatpenis has championed the inevitable reality of human self-annihilation, thus earning its place among the few atop the mantle of black war metal. Whereas the term “war metal” is often used as a misnomer in reference to any generic bestial black metal band, Goatpenis is one among a scarce number of acts who actually embody the spirit of the label in all aspects of the music’s thematic content, songwriting, and execution.

***GOATPENIS returns from the dead, once again under the unflinching banner of NWN!, to bring forth its debut atrocity in the form of Inhumanization. Rarely is the term “warmetal” used as appropriately as it is in describing the aural onslaught of Goatpenis. Unlike many bestial black metal bands to whom this label is mistakenly given, Goatpenis' militaristic essence and complete disdain for human existence are the defining characteristics of each and every release. This is where it all started and it’s fitting that the ouroboros is completed with their masterpiece of true Brazilian battle metal.

***Goatpenis returns, once again under the unflinching banner of Nuclear War Now!, to bring forth its latest atrocity in the form of “Decapitation Philosophy,” the band’s seventh full-length album. Rarely is the term “war metal” used as appropriately as it is in describing the aural onslaught of Goatpenis. Unlike many bestial black metal bands to whom this label is mistakenly given, Goatpenis’s militaristic essence and complete disdain for human existence are the defining characteristics of each and every release, and “Decapitation Philosophy” proudly carries on that tradition. Beginning with the call to arms of “Torrid Screaming Trumpet,” and continuing through the coda that is “Inhuman Scars,” Goatpenis delivers another strike of pinpoint accuracy that lays waste to the pathetic human condition.

***At last, the long-overdue and first-ever vinyl reissue of the final and most significant of the original three GOATPENIS demos from the early 1990s is unleashed. Jesus Coward, along with the debut album, Inhumanization, is widely considered to be among the very best of Goatpenis’s output. This represents the initial release in the First Blood series of early Goatpenis recordings from 1992 to 1994 to be made available by Nuclear War Now! There will be 3 LPs in total, and each demo is to be pressed as a separate 12″ in order to preserve the aesthetic integrity of each original release. Nothing new has been added to modernize the aesthetic, as had been done on previous reissues. All three are to be presented in the glory of their crusty ugliness, as they should be!
