Goat Farm is an alternative metal band hailing from Rochester, New York, offering a unique take on heaviness with a potent blend of stoner rock and sludge metal. From their earliest material, the band's influences from underground doom metal are unmistakable, yet they put them to brilliant use, giving way to a sound which feels fresh and engaging.
Old Curse, a powerful eight-minute epic, is a perfect example of Goat Farm's heavy sound. The track goes through passages of sludgy riffs, with vocals which transition effortlessly from hauntingly delicate to fiercely intense. It's an immersive, psychedelic trip into raw heaviness, and an exciting glimpse into the band's immense prospects.
