Goatlord is the seventh album by Norwegian black metal band, Darkthrone.
Although released as a full length album, Goatlord is originally an instrumental rehearsal tape recorded in 1990-1991 between the band's debut and follow-up albums (Soulside Journey and A Blaze in the Northern Sky, respectively). These songs were scrapped when the band changed style from death metal to black metal. The vocals were recorded in 1994 by Fenriz. The female-sounding vocals were also recorded by him, partly utilizing pitch shifting. Satyr of Satyricon is credited for the opening screams in Rex and Sadomasochistic Rites. While this disc was heavily criticized by many in the metal underground at the time of its release, it is increasingly regarded as the band's most inventive, inspired and important work.
