GOATMOON – death before dishonour (first version) – CD

After more than 20 years, Werewolf Records is proud to unearth a long-buried treasure from its vault: the previously unreleased and once-harshly rejected original recording of GOATMOON’s debut album.
This version, abandoned at the time, now finally sees the light of day on jewelcase CD with a black tray and rare, unseen photos from the era. Pure Finnish Black Metal in its rawest and most uncompromising form.

The material, preserved on the original master cassette, has aged like the finest of wines, the original versions of the songs ripened during the decades. What was once shelved is now damned for release.

During this early period, GOATMOON wielded a savage, punk-driven strain of Finnish black metal, already laced with flashes of triumph and tragedy that would later define the band in more refined forms.

This recording captures a moment when Finnish black metal was rising to dominate the underground, a time of raw violence, reckless spirit, and uncompromising vision. Hear where the infamy truly began, or turn away in fear.
