Archgoat hails from Finland and has been active on and off since 1989. However, due to a dispute with their original record company, they went on a hiatus from 1993 to 2006. The band’s debut album, Whore of Bethlehem, was finally released in 2006. To date, Archgoat has only managed to release three full-length albums, but each one has taken its place among the favorites of many black metal fans and critics alike.

Today’s Black Metal Friday selection is the title track from Archgoat’s second album, 2009’s The Light Devouring Darkness. Horns up for Finland’s finest.
