Goatburner Fatal CD ( Digipak, 2023, Time To Kill Records)

Finnish deathgrind duo Goatburner return with their second full-length studio album, Fatal, delivering 39 minutes of relentless, gore-soaked aggression with a uniquely darkly humorous twist. Hailing from Finland, the band consists of Kaos (guitars & vocals) and Spider (drums), veterans of the extreme metal scene known from Rotten Sound, Skulmagot, and Ratface, bringing a polished, professional approach to death metal and grindcore.

Fatal explores the classic themes of gore, violence, and morbidity typical of deathgrind — but with an inventive, satirical edge. Tracks like Pool of Blood, Attack, and Morbid Angle tackle absurdly grim scenarios with tongue-in-cheek storytelling, adding a darkly comedic layer to their brutal sound.

Musically, Goatburner delivers high-speed riffs, crushing blast beats, and hoarse, guttural vocals, creating the ferocious intensity fans expect from Finnish extreme metal. While slower passages occasionally reveal the absence of bass, the album consistently maintains a raw, grinding energy that defines the genre.

At 39 minutes, Fatal is a concentrated dose of deathgrind, perfect for fans who enjoy fast tempos, vicious riffs, and the macabre humour of extreme metal. If you’re a follower of death metal, grindcore, or the Finnish extreme scene, this album is a must-have addition to your collection.
