"Goatlord is the title of what was to originally be Darkthrone’s second album. The style followed very much in the vein of the debut, Soulside Journey, with a mid-paced melodic, yet technical death metal style. After the recording of the tracks in their completed demo form in 1991, however, Darkthrone’s focus shifted towards black metal & so the album was shelved, while work commenced on what was to be the Norwegian black metal milestone, A Blaze in the Northern Sky, which did actually incorporate some parts from the Goatlord tracks.

This edition of Goatlord includes the bonus track A Blaze in the Northern Sky in its original form & also a commentary disc with Fenriz & Nocturno reflecting on the tracks & their inspirations at the time of writing the material, as the music plays in the background. Also features new cover artwork."
