Goatlord is the fifth studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone, released in 1996. The album showcases a raw and lo-fi production style, characteristic of the band's earlier works, blending elements of black metal with a more doom-laden atmosphere. The harsh vocals, distorted guitars, and minimalist drumming contribute to the album's grim and oppressive sound. Goatlord has gained a cult following and is often regarded as a significant release within the black metal genre, noted for its unique approach to songwriting and atmosphere.
