Year Of The Goat

Year Of The Goat is a Swedish occult rock band that emerged from Linköping in 2007, blending doom-laden riffs, eerie melodies, and a flair for theatrical mysticism. Known for their cryptic personas and lyrical themes steeped in esotericism, Satanism, and ancient rituals, the band crafts a haunting atmosphere that nods to classic heavy metal and '70s psychedelic rock. Their discography includes albums like *Lucem Ferre* (2012) and *The Unspeakable* (2015), with tracks such as "Angels' Necropolis" and "The Key and the Gate" showcasing their signature blend of melodic grandeur and dark, ritualistic vibes. While members have largely kept their identities shrouded, their live performances amplify their enigmatic aura, often featuring candles, robes, and ceremonial visuals. Year Of The Goat’s music feels like a séance—unapologetically retro yet hauntingly timeless.
