Repress of 2024s self titled masterpiece. One More Death and Goatbrain are spectacular curtain-raisers, embodying a hedonistic spirit driven by incisive funk and possessed by merciless fuzz/wah-drenched guitar.

And which also means ultimately, like the titular oldest allegorical symbol in alchemy, were right back where we started. As Brad Dourifs character Hazel Moates intones in the 1979 movie Wiseblood, Where you come from is gone; where you thought you were going werent never there. And where you are aint no good unless you can get away from it; in Goats eternal now of renewal and revelation, theres never been a more potent means of escape.
