Finnish death metal/grind duo GOATBURNER will release "Time of Danger" on October 9th, 2026, via Time To Kill Records.
Originally released across two separate EPs, "Time of Danger" brings together the band's earliest and most essential material in a single release for the first time. The six-track collection unites the 2022 "Danger" EP and the 2018 "Time to Burn" EP, tracing the origins and evolution of GOATBURNER's unmistakable blend of old-school death metal, sludge and powerviolence.
The first single, "Brutal Awakening", is available now on YouTube here.
Tracklist:
1. Lights Out
2. Leaf Blower
3. Brutal Awakening
4. Melting Misery
5. Suffocating
6. Scorched
Formed in 2017 by Jaakko "Spider" Forsman and Keijo "Kaos" Niinimaa (ROTTEN SOUND), GOATBURNER was created to channel a raw and uncompromising vision of extreme music built on crushing riffs, primitive grooves and relentless aggression. Working as a two-piece, the band has developed a massive wall of sound that defies expectations both in the studio and on stage.
"Time of Danger" documents the first chapter of the band's journey. The A-side features the tracks originally released as the Danger EP in 2022, while the B-side revisits the band's self-released 2018 debut Time to Burn. Newly mastered in 2026 by Keijo Niinimaa, the release presents these recordings as a cohesive work while preserving their raw intensity and underground spirit.
The cover artwork, painted by drummer Jaakko "Spider" Forsman, reflects the atmosphere of uncertainty, danger and death that defines both the release and the world surrounding it.
With members also known for their work in ROTTEN SOUND, RATFACE, MORBID EVILS, SKULMAGOT and PIKAKASSA, GOATBURNER have spent years relentlessly touring the European underground. Following a summer run with Delinquentes, the band will embark on the legendary Campaign For Musical Destruction Tour 2026, joining grindcore pioneers Napalm Death, death metal legends Master and rising force Brat for an extensive European run throughout November and December.
The tour will bring GOATBURNER's devastating two-piece wall of sound to more than twenty cities across the continent, including stops in Germany, Scandinavia, the Baltics, Eastern Europe, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
