NEWS: Thirteen Goats pay homage to Stephen King with “Servant of the Outer Dark”!

Servants of the Outer Dark Thirteen Goats continue to write a love letter to old school Florida Death Metal and 80’s Thrash with a music video for the title track from their new record directed by Nessa Aref and Alysson Hall. The featurette finds lead vocalist and guitarist Graham K. Miles as a gun-toting adventurer who pursues a mysterious man in black (played by guitarist and vocalist Rob Fitz-Gerald) through a series of alternate realities where space and time keep shifting. Along the way, he receives a cryptic tarot card reading and encounters supernatural entities that either help or hinder his progress. If you missed the album, one we recommended when we reviewed it, you can find it in all the usual places including bandcamp

Graham K. Miles explains the single: “‘Servant of the Outer Dark’ chronicles the exploits of a certain dark sorcerer in his quest to return our universe to its natural state: complete and utter chaos. Mike came up with the foundation for this, and Rob contributed some really nasty guitar work that helped take it to the next level. I handled the vocal arrangement and the lyrics. They’re an homage to my favourite Stephen King villain, who was also a source of inspiration for our mascot and the broader concept behind the band. We hope this song inspires each listener to find and embrace the sinister magician within themselves because even though that person might be dangerous, that’s not always a bad thing—they can also be very empowering and a lot of fun.”
