The story
Witchgöat will release their third album, Serpent Hordes, on CD through Personal Records on 04/12/2026, with a cassette version from Morbid Skull Records. The title track is out now.
Guitarist P. Scyther, active in the Salvadoran scene since the early 90s, started the band in 2016 with M. Miasma. Personal Records says the aim was to combine the violence of 80s South American and European thrash with the melodies of first- and second-wave Scandinavian blackened death metal and black metal.

Our take
Central American black thrash rarely gets this kind of label push. If you like your riffs fast, filthy and old-school, this one is worth hunting down.
Bottom line
Out 04/12/2026 on CD through Personal Records.
