  I'm Sammy Pierre Duat. I play guitar for a band called gold War and
• 0:04

• 0:07
  with the I think it's called Turn the Trouble Tables tour it Yeah, so
• 0:14
  yeah, there we go, beautiful say thanks for joining us today, brother,
• 0:18
  yeah, man, so as you say, Goat Hall will hit Australia
• 0:23
  soon for a run of dates though I hate God, starting in Perth on
• 0:26
  July the twenty third, then going to Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney before finishing
• 0:30
  in Brisbane on July twenty eighth. It's not long ago, now, mate.
• 0:34
  Are you packed and ready to go? Are you that sort of person?
• 0:37
  Ah? No, I usually pack at the last fucking minute. After
• 0:45
  all your years of traveled in touring, bro, Like, what what have
• 0:48
  you figured out that are essential items to take with you on tour that you
• 0:52
  probably wouldn't take anywhere else? Oh? Man, that's a very good question.
• 1:00
  I don't know that's a good question cause I normally forget it's something at
• 1:06
  a very it's very important. So yeah, the ship that I would take
• 1:12
  that I normally wouldn't take anywhere else, probably way too much underwear. You
• 1:19
  can never have too much. I know it now. I hope my research
• 1:26
  is practice right from what I can see. Your last visit to Australia was
• 1:30
  with like Crop Kick in twenty fifteen. Is that right? That's right,
• 1:34
  Yes, it is. Yeah. So what's changed with our guide hole between
• 1:41
  then and now? Oh, we put out a couple of records. That's
• 1:45
  changed. Uh, not much else. I got a lot more gray in
• 1:49
  my beard now the last time I was in Australia. So it's about it,
• 1:53
  man. Yeah, what do you like so much about throwing Australia?
• 1:57
  Is there anything special about the place? I just, for some reason,
• 2:00
  I just like the people there, man, I could just relate to them,
• 2:04
  I guess. You know, being from Louisiana, we're definitely a different
• 2:08
  type of folk than you would find like in California or in New York,
• 2:12
  you know what I'm saying. And I think, you know, the type
• 2:15
  of people that we are have a lot of common to the way that people
• 2:19
  are in Australia, you know. So I think you know, we we
• 2:23
  we share the same mind frame sort of speak, you know, in a
• 2:25
  way. Yeah, well I'm taking that up already, brother, So for
• 2:32
  those out of here that might not have seen a whole live shight before,
• 2:37
  give us a rundown on what do expect? Lots of loud and satanic heavy
• 2:43
  metal? Oh yeah, how involved? Do you like your crowd to get
• 2:47
  in your size might like you do you wanted me to get down and get
• 2:51
  dirty with you? Do you like them to sit there and watch this sing
• 2:53
  along? What's what's your idea? Crowd? Like? I like them to
• 2:58
  do whatever they feel like doing, and they feel like getting wild and getting
• 3:01
  crazy, Get wild and crazy. If you feel like sitting back and watching
• 3:05
  and just observing, that's cool too, man. Yeah, just when whatever,
• 3:09
  whenever Satan, whenever Satan takes hold of your soul and makes you want
• 3:14
  to do do it? Well, you've probably been out this fussing a thousand
• 3:19
  times before, my admit, I think you would have been asked by someone
• 3:22
  who's got an actual genuine interest in it, like I have my life.
• 3:25
  I've got a night where the night guith come from? Like we is getting
• 3:30
  frisky in the paddick one day? Did you read their own book? It's
• 3:35
  a combination of those things. Actually, Well, you know we as you.
• 3:42
  I love You're familiar with a lot of the material that we mess with
• 3:45
  the goadhoard. It's very occult base, you know. So we're reading a
• 3:49
  lot of a lot of Alves to Crowley stuff at a point and we came
• 3:57
  across this ritual that's not really it's not only a popularized ritual, but it's
• 4:03
  one that's kind of if you know the right people, they can get you
• 4:06
  the right information type ritual. And it involved a woman with a lot of
• 4:14
  men having a lot of sex, and at the end of the ritual,
• 4:18
  the woman had to have sex with a goat, so hence she was a
• 4:25
  goat. And what really nailed the name into the coffin was we were at
• 4:30
  a strip club with a very wild friend of ours and at the time we
• 4:34
  were kicking around the name. We're like, ah, we should we name
• 4:39
  the van goat war, shouldn't we? So we're hanging out with our friend
• 4:42
  and we were at a strip club and the stripper comes out. She was
• 4:46
  not a very attractive looking stripper. She had a long horse face, she
• 4:50
  had the pigtails, and she comes up and she starts shaking her ass in
• 4:55
  front of my friend trying to get some money, and he it looks at
• 5:00
  her and goes, don't you just get away from me? You goat whore?
• 5:03
  And from then on I was like, that is definitely the name.
• 5:08
  Yes, Ben, I'm glad the story lived up to what I had in
• 5:12
  my imagination. Mate, that's perfect. Coming back in instagramit broan like you
• 5:18
  found it got all back in nineteen ninety seven, right, So what's the
• 5:21
  musical climate liked that gave birth to the band? And and wait, where
• 5:25
  did you fit in in the s game of music? Well, you know,
• 5:30
  the climate back then it was pretty good. You know, there wasn't
• 5:31
  a whole lot of bands at the time doing what we do. You know,
• 5:36
  at the time, I want to remember, it was a very it
• 5:42
  was a more of a death metal dominated scene back then, you know.
• 5:46
  And when we started doing this is that you know, that's when the whole
• 5:49
  black metal thing slowly started creeping in. Yeah. So at the time we
• 5:57
  were just doing we were just trying to be as intent, which is possible
• 6:00
  with what we had, you know, And yeah, that was it,
• 6:06
  you know, the musical climate was you know, we came out and a
• 6:09
  lot of people didn't understand it at first, you know, as of course
• 6:12
  you know, and and that period of time, there wasn't a lot of
• 6:15
  American black metal bands, you know, so that was another thing that kind
• 6:19
  of confused a lot of people, you know, because you know, of
• 6:24
  course the Norwegians, well actually, yeah, the Norwegians kind of dominated it.
• 6:29
  You know, I'm not saying it started in Norway, but the Norwegian
• 6:32
  black metal scene kind of dominated the whole thing. But that's basically what happened.
• 6:39
  You know. We just we were real big fans of that kind of
• 6:42
  stuff, and we figur and why not you know, Yeah, now I'm
• 6:47
  I fucking height putting labels on bands night, But that's essentially you guys are
• 6:53
  an extreme metal band, but you in fearse, elements of death metal,
• 6:56
  there's black metal, thrash, sludge. It all comes into devastating of it
• 7:00
  might have been. How difficult is it fe to bring all the ice together
• 7:02
  to create the guide whole sound? Like? Is it? Is it a
• 7:05
  hard altamation? Not? Really? It kind of comes naturally because you know,
• 7:12
  we we like all those genres of music, you know, we that's
• 7:15
  why we take influences. And it's not like we purposely try to do it.
• 7:19
  It just happens you know our you know, our model is when we're
• 7:25
  writing music is whatever sounds good, use it, you know, no matter
• 7:29
  what type of extreme metal it is, you know where I know at first,
• 7:33
  you know, the first couple of records were very black metal influence,
• 7:39
  but you know, the later records as we went on, we just kind
• 7:43
  of were like, let's just write what feels right, you know. Cool.
• 7:49
  Now you got to be in the band for over twenty five years,
• 7:51
  now, Maden, what's the best way to put this? Like the world
• 7:56
  is increasingly becoming more sanitized, and it's just you can can't do this.
• 8:01
  You can't do that for fear of offending people all that shit. But how
• 8:03
  do you guys go with your music as the world gets more sanitized? Do
• 8:07
  you find that that people are expecting you to tone down to or do you
• 8:13
  expect you to change thanks your approach? No, if anything will get more
• 8:18
  abrazen, you know, that's that's that's always been our the number one gold
• 8:24
  you know, I mean, we don't really worry about, you know,
• 8:28
  quote being canceled for whatever reason. You know, if somebody gets mad because
• 8:33
  of the name offends them, good, that's why we name the band that
• 8:39
  would to offend you, you know, go fuck yourself fucking love it.
• 8:45
  And your last album of Our Angels, Hung from the Arches of Heaven,
• 8:48

• 8:50
