tldr; don't be sheep people, be goats. 🤘🐐 So the thing that God sees in His sheep is a gentle and yielded spirit. They trust their Shepherd. They follow His voice. On the other hand, the goats have a spirit of defiance, self-will, or independence from God’s involvement in their lives.🐐

Ever come across a band you've never heard before, then when you do hear said band, it's like listening to them for the 1000th time? A Goat As Our Shepherd is one of those bands for me. This album is chock full of nostalgic sounds for some reason, even though this is a new band to me.

Came here from 9gag - had to had a listen with that cover and the promise of melodic death metal. Thanks, 9gag! This is a banger album! :D

@woutertseyen9031

Hi Randy! T'Seyen - vocalist here. In our lyrics, there's pretty much always a reference to the meaning behind our band name. We, as humans, consider ourselves as the superior species, but are we, really? How can the summum of intelligence and civilization be so self-destructive towards ourselves and towards our natural environment? Now, that sounds like an easy topic to write about in metal, so we take it one step further by throwing in some self-reflection. I can complain in the lyrics as much as I want about what's going wrong in the world, but does that make me any better than the rest? No, it doesn't. That's why the Goat might indeed be a better Shepherd... 🎤

@@randynewman7173 We have the lyrics in the booklet of the CD and LP, but they're not all published online unfortunately.

I try to write my lyrics in an open way, so that everyone can find their own symbolic meaning. I don't want to stick to one specific situation where the texts can be translated to real-life circumstances. Maybe there'se something totally different to be found for your own situation. Sticking a direct meaning to the songs would take away your own imagination.

@woutertseyen9031 you absolute Chad. Thank you for the reply. After listening to and viewing The Awakening of the Martyr, i have to ask, is the goat supposed to represent the devil, considering the anti religious themes?

@woutertseyen9031

@@randynewman7173 That is correct, in this context. However, the Goat could also represent any creature that is used/abused by mankind, and that includes people as well. Aren't we the helpless goats, (mis)lead by politicians that should never have been our shepherd in the first place? Is life on Earth lead by natural forces, or do we have the right to steer it to our will, like we're trying to do now?
