GOATWHORE Frontman Talks Sports In New Video Interview

November 10, 2011

The Score television network a Canadian specialty television service providing sports, news, information, highlights and live event programming, available across Canada recently conducted an interview with vocalist Ben Falgoust of New Orleans' GOATWHORE. You can now watch the chat below.

GOATWHORE guitarist Sammy Duet recently spoke to Decibel magazine about the band's forthcoming album, tentatively due in early 2012 via Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2009's "Carving Out The Eyes Of God" was recorded at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida with producer with Erik Rutan.

According to Duet, the upcoming CD will feature "the same exact [guitar] sound I used on 'Carving Out The Eyes Of God'. We're just trying to improve on that sound make it bigger and fatter. That 'Carving' guitar sound was fucking incredible, and that's why me and Rutan spent half the week trying to get it to sound even better, which I believe we achieved. It's gonna have that growly, sub-nuclear kind of sound, but I think it's gonna be almost more refined in a way but still very nasty."

He added, "The drums are a lot more natural-sounding. A lot of producers today, I don't know; they make the drums sound fake. They sound good, but almost too good. We're just trying to make it sound real and not like a drum machine.

"There's the same amount of solos on 'Carving'; maybe a few more. But there's gonna be a lot of other I wouldn't exactly call them guitar solos that are gonna be going on underneath the music, but there's gonna be certain things there that will be very different. There's definitely some shit I've never really done before ever that I've just been experimenting with. You have to hear it. It's hard to explain. It's like a solo and not a solo."

"I think a lot of people are expecting us to repeat ourselves, but it's not gonna be like that. We could have easily gone and written 'Carving Out The Eyes Of God Part II' because that album is such a natural feeling for us musically. But we didn't want to do that."

Video footage of GOATWHORE performing a brand new song, "Beyond The Spell Of Discontent", on September 16 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida can be seen below.
