2001 - 2002 The Beginning
Nothing lasts forever. Something happened in 2001 when Goath found his way back to business. Goath´s brother Mr.Thing joined the horde and these brothers started to write really weird music. Insolent idea was to make devastating metal versions of old songs that they heard at home when they were children.
A little after that Dark was also invited to the band to make clean female vocal parts, which are nowadays an essential part of the band´s sound. That formed another principle of Goathemy, there´s no use for any synths at all when a real sound is available. The first demo named "Under the sign of the black cover" was recorded during 2002 at Goathemy´s home studio "Goathcave" with a drum machine. Band was looking for a real drummer and soon after these record sessions they found Ghost, who had played with Goath in Kaamos. Ghost joined the horde and the first line-up was formed in the fall of 2002.
1995 History behind the band
Goathemy story begins at middle of 90´s when Goath started his one-man-band after years and years playing in different death metal bands. Always (from the late 80´s when Venom´s black metal blowed his mind) addicted to heavy metal and the dark side of man, as his former acts never took the last step he wanted, Goath finally found what he´d longed for...Goathemy was born. As a word, Goathemy means really nothing in real life but it is often associated to words "Goat" and "Blasphemy". The name came into reality 1993 when Goath used it as an alter ego name in a band called the Gore Josefs.
In 1995 Goath recorded rehearsal tape/demo called "The goat fucks the lambs" including raw & primitive black metal with filthy synths. later that (well...someone could say a cult) tape travelled from hand to hand and it was listened to with a huge astonishment.
During 1995 - 2001 Goathemy slept a deep black sleep when Goath worked with several different works and projects like "Kaamos" (finnish one). in fact, between 1995-1996 Goath wrote for Kaamos early verses of songs like "Opus funerale" and "Rebellion morningstar".
