About Me

Formed in 2003, Shit Goat began life as a one-man project in the vision of Kevin Stankiewicz, originally just a cheap vehicle for poking fun at grindcore bands. Soon thereafter guitarist James McDonald was ensnared to play guitar on the project and some very, very bad recordings were made in early 2004 which will never see the light of day. Then the project was shelved for some time, with empty-handed threats to those who managed to hear the original recordings that the Shit Goat would come again. Over the remaining months of 2004, with some remorse over the quality of the original recordings, a decision was made. Shit Goat would drop the parody mantle and finally become a serious project. Well, as serious as any band with a song titled "You Smell Like Rotten Meat" gets. Finally, in January 2005, the decision was set. The Shit Goat would, indeed, rise again. To this end, Swedish guitarist Petter Carnbro was affixed to the project, thanks to the wonders of the internet, and writing sessions began apace for the first proper Shit Goat release, due on 2006/06/06.

My Interests

Member Since: 3/7/2005
Band Website: shitgoat.com
Band Members: Kevin Stankiewicz(Bass, Vocals, Drum Programming, Baritone, and Additional Guitars). Petter Carnbro(Lead and Rhythm Guitars).

Sounds Like: Throw buzzsaw riffs like those of Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax into a blender, add a bit of weird time signatures and progressive sections ala Dream Theater, lyrical moments such as those of S.O.D., add King Diamond-esque headroom-vocals and a lot of tongue-in-cheek humour and you've got Shit Goat's unmistakeable and truly original sound.
