In the words of Laura Glover from Metal Temple, “THIRTEEN GOATS Capricorn Rising is a unique Extreme Metal Rock Opera blending Thrash, Death, Grind, and Heavy Metal as it follows Shepard, the goat-skull wearing Antichrist, on a mission to overthrow humanity. Lyrics are dark and intense, with violent imagery and apocalyptic themes. This album displays the band’s impressive technical skills and genre-pushing creativity. I would definitely recommend anyone to check this album out, as with its deft blending of so many styles, everyone can find a piece they like about this band.”
Founded in 2018 by a classically-trained Shakespearean actor and an auto mechanic, Thirteen Goats emerged from Vancouver, BC, but the band’s members share roots in the former Soviet Union, including Ukraine, Lithuania, Armenia, and Russia. This diverse cultural background influences their unique sound, as they aim to transcend the boundaries of metal subgenres. As the band puts it, “Are we Extreme metal, Death metal, and so on? We don’t care, and you shouldn’t either.”
Capricorn Rising, released on July 12, 2024, is a concept album filled with extreme rock and metal operatic themes. It follows the journey of the main character, Shepard, the band's mascot, who dons a goat skull as he raises an army of demon goats to liberate the Earth from humanity's greed and destruction. The album delves into themes of death and despair as Shepard grapples with his faith in humanity and ultimately makes a dark pact to become the Antichrist.
Album Highlights:
“Sign of the Goat” – The opening track sets the stage for the album, introducing listeners to Shepard's sinister character with intense riffs and aggressive vocals.
“Global Fuckup” – This high-energy track showcases Thirteen Goats’ signature blend of intense riffing and theatrical songwriting as Shepard prepares his army for war against humanity.
“Beheading Zoo” – A brutal portrayal of battle, this track combines Thrash Metal elements with unapologetic lyrics that capture the album’s intensity.
“Goats of War” – Dark and visceral, this song paints a vivid picture of Shepard leading his demon goats into battle, with relentless energy matching the brutal lyrics.
Thirteen Goats invites metal fans and newcomers alike to immerse themselves in the captivating narrative of Capricorn Rising. The band continues to push the boundaries of extreme metal with their innovative sound and compelling storytelling.
