NEWS: Thirteen Goats seek the Shepherd?

A death metal rock opera that follows the journey of their mascot, Shepherd: a goat-skull wearing Anti-christ leading an army of 12 demon goats to liberate the earth from humanity’s wars and greed is what Vancouver Canadians Thirteen Goats have prepared for your listening pleasure in “Capricorn Rising“. Set for a 12th July grand unveiling by Exitus Stratagem Records, it has been described as a journey through madness, destruction, and the perils of letting anger consume you which crosses Metal sub-genres with ease. “A Wolf In Shepherd’s Clothing” is the first of nine on offer with a physical pre-order available here.

The band comments: “A Wolf in Shepherd’s Clothing wasn’t originally going to be a single, but as we were finishing it in the studio, we changed our minds. It felt like we were able to take a lot of the more aggressive elements of our sound and put them together in a surprisingly accessible way—it has these angry riffs and big, heavy grooves, but they’re anchored by a catchy chorus with a dynamic vocal hook.”
