Bio:

Bringing together musicians deeply rooted in the international extreme music underground, GOATEST features Keijo “Kaos” Niinimaa, also known as the vocalist of Finnish grindcore veterans ROTTEN SOUND, and Jaakko “Spider” Forsman of RATFACE, alongside Thiago “Barata” and João Kombi of Brazilian grindcore unit TEST.

The collaboration mixes different backgrounds and approaches to extreme music in a concentrated burst of grindcore and sludge intensity, raw energy and uncompromising attitude, connecting the Finnish and Brazilian underground scenes through a shared instinct for restlessness, aggression and sonic extremity.

“GoaTesT” features fourteen tracks that span different shades of extreme metal, bringing together the distinct identities and musical backgrounds of its members. While much of the material is short, direct and fiercely executed, capturing the spontaneous energy of the collaboration, the album also ventures into more expansive and experimental territory. Slower-paced passages, unconventional textures and moments of controlled tension create a compelling ebb and flow, adding depth and unpredictability without ever diluting the record's raw grindcore intensity.
