A cabra que ouve death metal

Tenham medo, tenham muito medo. "All Eternals Deck", o próximo longa-duração dos The Mountain Goats, vai contar com a colaboração de O.G. Erik Rutan, membro de bandas como os Morbid Angel ou os Hate Eternal, que muito se têm dedicado a fazer dobrar o "metal da morte", vulgo death metal. A saída está agendada para 29 de Março do próximo ano, e Darnelle explicou a coisa mais ou menos nestes termos:

"If you have ever watched say a 70s occult-scare movie where one of the scenes involves a couple of people visiting a storefront fortune teller, getting their cards read, and then trying to feel super-hopeful about what they hear when what they're visibly actually feeling is dread, then you have a pretty decent idea of what the album is all about. If you know the feeling of exultation that comes with having recognized the oncoming train of fate, then that's the other thing the album's about. JD, wouldn't it be easier to write an album of, like, love songs? Probably, I would not know, my focus is mainly death scenes and downtown Portland".
