Back in early September NOLA's sons of American no-frills Black Metal meets Death and Roll, Goatwhore, entered The Riff Room (New Orleans) with Stephen Berrigan to record a cover of Motörhead's "(Don't Need)Religion" for Decibel Magazine's Flexi Series - only available to subscribers *.
Goatwhore recorded this epic Motörhead cover at The Riff Room in New Orleans, LA with engineer Stephen Berrigan. The song was then mixed and mastered by Brian Elliott at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, FL
Goatwhore experienced a meteoric rise in 2010. Their song "Apocalyptic Havoc" appeared on the soundtrack for Splatterhouse, a video game released for Xbox 360 and PS3 by Namco Bandai, the video for the same song was used in an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly, they toured as part of Ozzfest 2010, and they also toured with Watain, The Black Dahlia Murder and more. "Carving Out the Eyes of God", released at the tail end of 2009, was met with praise from fans and critics alike and hailed as one of the best Metal albums of the year.
"Carving Out the Eyes of God" broke the Billboard Top 200 chart coming in at #190! In addition to hitting the Top 200 Chart, "Carving Out the Eyes of God" also debuted on the Billboard Hard Music chart at #33, the Billboard Top New Artist (Heatseekers) Albums chart at #16, and the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart at #34. Goatwhore also carved out a spot for themselves on Canada's charts coming in at #48 on Independent chart and #79 on the Hard Chart.
