Archgoat announce new album, release new song "Nuns, Cunts, and Darkness"


        Archgoat, the Finnish war metal act that, alongside Blasphemy and Beherit, defined the foul subgenre in the early 90s, have announced their fourth full-length: dubbed, in true (or dare I say trve) Archgoat histrionics, The Apocalyptic Triumphator. The LP will follow 2011's stellar Heavenly Vulva: Christ's Last Rites, and is slated for release by Debemur Morti on January 26th in Europe and 27th in North America. 
         To that end, the band have debuted a new song from the record. With a title like 'Nuns, Cunts & Darkness', it's easy to tell what you're in for. Beginning with a fiendishly catchy hook, the song barrages the listener through four minutes of Archgoat's signature mix of blood-curdling brutality and tongue-in-cheek obtuseness. As Lord Angelripper gurgles and burps his way through the song, it's difficult not to bang your head, and the band even makes use of some chilling choirs as they did on now-classic Archgoat bits like 'Goat and the Moon'.
