Archgoat is a Finnish black metal band formed in 1989 by twin brothers Ritual Butcherer on guitar and Lord Angelslayer on bass and vocals.

[1] The members of Archgoat openly identify with the philosophy of Satanism and the occult as expressed in their lyrical content,[3] which also consists of anti-Christian themes.

[2] However, after their recording sessions, a disagreement with terms of their contract resulted in the band refusing to release the finished material to the public.

[2] The band did not reform until 2004, when they released their 1993 material as a 7-inch EP, titled Angelslaying Black Fucking Metal, through Hammer of Hate Records.

Their debut LP Whore of Bethlehem was released in September 2006, and they embarked on a European tour in spring 2007 with Black Witchery.
