Band statement:

French heavy stoner rock ‘n’ rollers, Goatfather, have unleashed the first details and a brand new song of their upcoming, sophomore album! The band’s crushing new full-length, entitled “Monster Truck”, will be released in LP, CD and Digital formats on September 17th, 2021, through Argonauta Records.

Less than a year after their first release, the universally acclaimed self-titled EP, 10,000 Years are back with their first full-length effort, aptly titled “II”.

Picking up right where the EP left off, “II” continues the story of the ill-fated Albatross-mission and its exploration of time and space through a skull crushing mixture of stoner rock, doom & sludge metal. The album was recorded in the legendary Studio Sunlight with the equally legendary Tomas Skogsberg manning the controls.

Baltimore, Maryland, doom metal act Mangog has revealed the first details about their upcoming, sophomore album entitled “Economic Violence”, which is slated for a release on June 25th, 2021, through Argonauta Records!
