Goatamentise: 30+ Years of Bronx Death Metal, Hardcore & Underground History

Goatamentise has been part of the Bronx underground metal scene for more than 30 years.In this episode of Voices with AndreaNet, I sit down with members of Goatamentise: Barry, Ramon, Tracy and Louie, to talk about their history, the Bronx metal scene of the '90s, death metal and hardcore influences, legendary New York venues, and what it takes to keep a band alive for more than three decades.We get into the stories behind songs like “LSD (Love Song for the Deranged)” and “Suicide,” their approach to writing about real-world darkness, their experiences playing venues like CBGB, the evolution of New York's metal scene, physical music vs. streaming, and the new Goatamentise material currently in the works.The guys also share stories about missed opportunities to play overseas, their unexpected following in places like Belgium, the bands they'd love to share a stage with, including Obituary, Deicide and Immolation, and, finally, the accidental story behind the name Goatamentise.A conversation about underground metal, friendship, longevity, and more than three decades of keeping heavy music alive in the Bronx.Voices with AndreaNet is a podcast featuring honest conversations with musicians, artists, and people shaping the rock and metal scene.Subscribe for new episodes and conversations from the underground and beyond.#Goatamentise #DeathMetal #BronxMetal #HeavyMetal #MetalPodcast #VoicesWithAndreaNet #HardcoreTimestamps:00:00 The Rooster Incident00:34 Meet Goatamentise02:04 “LSD: Love Song for the Deranged”03:11 Over 30 Years of Goatamentise05:36 Growing Up in the Bronx Metal Scene07:25 Old-School Metal vs. Today08:55 That Goat Metal Show12:29 Playing Outside New York & the Poland Opportunity14:12 Musical Influences: Death Metal, Hardcore & Thrash17:21 How the Band Members Met18:53 Formorian Productions & Physical Releases20:29 Physical Music vs. the Digital Era22:40 Being a Metalhead in the Bronx27:56 Touring, Texas, California & Puerto Rico30:40 Festivals and Maryland Deathfest32:23 The Real-World Darkness Behind the Lyrics37:43 Family, Music & Staying in the Game39:23 Drama, Haters & the Metal Scene42:17 Where to Find Metal in New York44:43 Playing CBGB & Legendary NYC Venues47:04 Life Behind the Band48:08 The Next Goatamentise Album49:18 The Story Behind “Suicide”53:49 Dream Bills: Slayer, Obituary, Deicide & Immolation55:22 New Music & Upcoming Songs57:49 The Story Behind the Name Goatamentise1:00:30 Goatamentise Around the World1:02:00 Final Thoughts
