Goatess

Goatess is the latest band to feature vocalist Christian Linderson (who often goes by the name Chritus), a man who who's made contributions to a number of Swedish doom bands, as well as one of the grandfathers of doom in St. Vitus. Formed in 2009 originally under the name Weekend Beast, the band switched name to Goatess in 2012 and debuting with a self-titled album a year later. Goatess doesn't stray too far from Chritus' other bands, as this is effective, soulful, stoner-inflected doom metal, with plenty of fuzzed-out riffing and Chritus's vaguely early-Ozzy-inspired vocals in typical form. Sweden has no shortage of fine doom/stoner bands and Goatess ranks with the best of them. A second album, with the rather cool title of Purgatory Under New Management, was released in 2016.
