An ode to the Lovecraftian lore of Shub Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods was conceived as "the soundtrack from some lost low budget horror movie, rediscovered on an old and faded VHS cassette found mouldering in a deserted house in the depths of the woods".
Black Goat of the Woods pays homage to the dark denizen of the nocturnal glades, and is a true paean to backwoods horror.
Composed/decomposed by Black Mountain Transmitter, December 2008 - October 2009.

Apart from Everywhere At The End Of Time, this is easily my favorite Caretaker album. It creates such a haunting atmosphere and it captures a lot of emotions and sounds. Thanks Leyland. hakr0cat
