If you’re in need of some debauched occult noise rock then I have it: get ready to sink your teeth into NIGHT GOAT! Today we’re premiering their new video for “Sister Wolf” and it’s got an eerie groove and a guttural grunge that sucked me into a place of soulless solace. Their concept of duality, that moonlight spark capable of setting us on a path of rage, really resonates with me…I feel my sister wolf inside me, the one that begs to be provoked to righteous murder — I don’t let her out but I feel her in there. Their doomy deathrock noise makes my nerve endings feel like they’re clawing their way out of a mud pit soaked with blood! The track is off their record Totem that’s out now through Black Donut Records — get it here. Right now, watch our premiere of “Sister Wolf” and make sure to check out their tour dates below that!
As the lead track, ‘Sister Wolf’ sets the tone for the entire album. It was the first one we wrote once we had the concept idea of a record about Native American supernatural spirits. The video treats the viewer to a barrage of psychedelic colors and images of classic werewolf mythology with a focus on twin spirits inside of us… the wolf and the dark wolf, the duality in our nature. We had a lot of fun making this one. Julia rolled around in the freezing cold, rainy forest and mud for hours. Early Spring in Ohio is basically just a sloppy wet winter! A perfect time to film.
