BIOGRAPHY In 1997, the band was initially formed when Sammy Duet (formerly of Acid Bath ), Zak Nolan and Patrick Bruders began experimenting with Black Metal . It has has been rumoured that the band's unusual name originated from an experience one of the bandmembers had with an unattractive stripper. After Acid Bath disbanded, a four track demo was recorded. Louis Benjamin Falgoust II, singer for Louisiana band Soilent Green , was recruited as main vocalist. In 1998, they released another demo under Red Sea Productions . In 2000, Goatwhore released their first full length album. ''The Eclipse Of Ages Into Black'' was released under the Rotten Records label in Upland, CA, the same label as Acid Bath and Agents Of Oblivion (another post-Acid Bath band). Between 2000 and 2002 the band commenced extensive touring, opening for bands such as GWAR , Mortician , and Immolation . A second album, ''Funeral Dirge For The Rotting Sun'' was released in 2003 again under Rotten Records . A split 7" with Epoch Of Unlight was also released in the same year. The album would be supported on the ''Art of Noise 2'' tour in the U.S. with Kreator , Vader , Amon Amarth , and Nile . The band's work was delayed in 2003 by an auto accident involving Falgoust, then on tour with Soilent Green . Touring resumed in 2004, this time in Japan . They also opened for Dark Funeral and Zyklon on The Dojo Volume 9. They signed to Metal Blade Records in July 2005. Recently Goatwhore composed a music video, and has had recent play time on MTV. With ''Funeral Dirge For The Rotting Sun'' Goatwhore moved from their original Raw Black/Gore Metal sound to a more Black/Death sound. LINE-UP
