mikethebassist I Love it. I listened once and lost it in my feed. I kept finding it.Five times through I had enough and had to own it. That's because I was sick of losing such amazing music.
One track in, a minute into it and the riff hits, I was done. I was hooked. The way they play with time is awesome. Slowing down and speeding up and tension. A wonderful cosmic sludgy journey. I can't stop listening. Favorite track: Slippery Beers.

nate’s death metal dungeon Holy smokes (pun intended), what a record! Impossibly heavy, creative, proggy, and psychedelic. Nearly perfect. Get this now! Favorite track: Mr. Biz.

Rob Hammer I hit the 'buy' button within 5 minutes, I already knew at that point that it would make my 2025 EOY-list... halfway through the album my mind is whispering: AOTY-candidate?!?"

Puppet Ministry 2 months ago I’d never heard of Goat Shaman. Now they’re in my Top 5. This is Album of the Year, hooves down. Fucking sludgey, mildly groovey, and it dooms fucking hard. Everything is spot-on. They’ve kind of ruined most other bands for me. Hard to pick a favorite track, but I went with Shaft Splitter because it dooms the hardest, and I love me some doom. Favorite track: Shaft Splitter.

Seasick Desolation Pale and starved Sleepless haze Sails up Torn and rugged Twisted storm on the tide ahead Spiraling waves Out of the storm came a poison A liquid bled from the sky It was the ink of a kraken Filling my mouth and my eyes Sail on It is nothing Me iron will shudders, the moment creeps through tentacular imprints on my psyche Soul of the sea slag I can feel the other side Seductive sorcery begging me further Into the storms eye Harpoons loose Deeper in the minds eye of a minds eye of the minds eye Aquatic euphoria not from this universe As we ascend

Snail Grail 07:43
Vulture scavenger Feeding like cancer 'think you've had your fill Victim dependent Forever... you're not worthy of the grail I kiss my putrid vapour Then I blow it all to you Can't have my elixir I'm a junky in a hole Illicit elixir We're a junky in hole From the jaws of slavehood To the soil In regression our teething judgement reigns By the rule of ritual And it's spoils Deeming you as the same A war like snail Comes to kill; maim, flail.

Weed Slug 07:45
Bog wine to clear the mind Contemplate the putrid tube Mosquito larvae in sludge beuge juice Insect young into my lungs Tadpoles of toads inside the chode Fetid slugs to farm the drugs Hacking coughs of bong water sloths Pack a cone upon the dismal throne Take it all and breathe You'll have to pull a little harder Take the lion's share Light it up You're choking You like it Take the lion's share And light it up You're choking You like it You're a slug Coolabah mounds and cardboard crowns Hose pipe under half moon light Bleeding gums and tar black lungs Paranoia of a feral monk Take the lion's share Light it up You're choking You like it Take the lion's share And just light it up You're choking You like it You're a slug

Mr. Biz 06:54
I was born in the gutter If you know what I mean Licking my lips at that sweet corruption baby That juicy green Now slung with jewels and cash I steal and win the crown You scums and rats can catch a high heel in the mouth You like the taste of my shoe-shine Just kicking in the teeth of the poor again Now I've clawed through the mud To my twisted prime Little Jimmy business is swimming with the big fish My pretty pockets are lined Cut my ties clean But you rats keep crawling back Slaves to my machine But so am I Drain my woes at the whore house Just kicking in teeth of the poor again

Tepid Slobs 02:13
(interlude) Lusus, veneficus, vatum stilo, fumus inepta conorum in lunaribus risum fabam penialem cole, cremorem naturis cretam. rubber lather amor ad trabem lazer labrum edunt glutinum seminis saepti ferarum, lingua per dente tibia torquent furia fumare daemonium poo, sugere meum sacerdotem et poo ad vos

Odium Below 09:34
Flies with ease Slough it brings Eyes concede Hide within Blight Blind through the reeds Spite like manic Ripe are the teeth Bleed by the leech Blight Tarantula Surrender You have become prey Surrender Death in the sun, not to be Swallowed so below, soon it feeds Writhe Fang pierced derma, agony The life disgorged, I give in Life Tarantula Surrender You have become prey Surrender

Wank with the wilderness Animalistic Pulsing seepage Bestial instinct Wriggling Clench the esophagus Manic slippery innocent experience Step through the frame You're now free game Skies reach and roar Beyond the mountain comes a cry Who else but thundercock Lord of the dick-split Lighting hit Tip of the dick Cleave the meat Splintered and limp Lash it up Hitched cripple pecker Writhing wet torngasmic shudder Jack off the beaten track Animal lipstick Breathing and weeping Genital magic Draining fluid Cream stained crimson Flowing slippery innocent experience Lighting hit Tip of the dick Cleave the meat Splintered and limp Lash it up Hitched cripple pecker Writhing wet torngasmic shudder Lighting hit Tip of the dick Lash it up Writhing wet torngasmic shudder

Butter up my lungs Teeth and tongue Lick mah lips I rub my tum Butter Filling crannies and nook This beug's had it's way with me For sure got me on my knees My ruptured hide Dope weeps from me Eyes bigger than my lungs Big rug, big tug The minds eye takes rise Worshipper This beug's set free Into a dream This beug has taken me, broiling The bending violently cracks Hot dang fry me up, convulsing Ending in collapse
