Dreams of Consciousness Podcast Episode 253 features an interview with Sammy Duet of Goatwhore.

Does Goatwhore need an introduction? Formed by members of Soilent Green and Acid Bath, they were an early exponent of USBM before those letters really meant anything. They ended up becoming one of the biggest bands to emerge from the American black metal scene, even as their sound grew to encompass thrash, sludge, and hardcore punk.

I spoke with Goatwhore guitarist/co-founder Sammy Duet about how the band's NOLA origins shaped their sound, and the reactions their music elicited from European black metal fans early on. We also spoke about why their latest album Angels Hung from the Arches of Heaven is their ugliest, and getting Kurt Ballou's feedback on their arrangements.

My thanks again to Sammy for speaking with me, and to you for listening.
