Norwegian death/thrashers GOAT THE HEAD check in with the following update:

"Hey guys! It's been a while! Here are some updates from the good ol' goats!

First things first: We've had some changes in our primal caveman personell. Goat The Head and bassist Snorre Hovdal has decided to part ways. There's not much drama in this, we've just evolved in somewhat different directions. Goat The Head are still very grateful for everything Snorre has done for the band and will naturally wish him all the best in his future endeavours!

New man responsible for the low end frequencies in the caveman collective is mister Trond Frønes. Trond has a broad musical background and some of you may know him from bands such as CADILLAC and ALL TROUBLE. We're very excited to see what the future can bring with Trond in on the troglodyte team.

As you've probably noticed we've updated our MySpace site a little. We've added a top menu which includes some new elements:

Videos: We've established a Goat The Head channel over at YouTube where you from now on will find all official video relases from the band. We've uploaded the 'Darwinian Minions' video in high resolution for your viewing pleasure, as well as we've put up some live footage from our appearance at this year's Storås Festival. Head over to YouTube and check it out! (Note: the video can be seen below!)

Merchandise: Goat The Head has entered a collaboration with UK company Razamataz in order to bring you the best in official merchandise. Rancid designs are under production and will be available soon at http://www.heavymetalonline.co.uk/.

Headzine: Goat The Head's own webzine, the place for cavemen rants and low-brow articles. Coming in 2009!

Work on our sophomore full length album is well underway. We've already recorded one preproduction of eight songs and it's not bad. Not bad at all. As a sneak peak, here are some titles for you: "Primal Caveman Death Metal", "Salt", "Uncanny Valley Clan" and "Bestial Domestication". There are even som nifty surprises in store...

Kenneth has been busy lately setting up a tribute to SLAYER which will be taking place at Blæst here in Trondheim this upcoming Saturday (13th of December). The band consist of the new Goat The Head lineup in addition to Christian Broholt from THORNS. Per will sing a song our two, but the vocal duties will be divided among a great selection of guests, all eager to make this a memorable night with the best metal tracks written in history, performed with the rawness and intensity that Slayer deserves."
