Magoth sign with Ferocious Records; writing new album

German black metal outfit Magoth have signed with USA based Ferocious Records to release their third album in 2020.

Magoth was founded in 2011 in Bonn, Germany by frontman Heergott with the intention of giving all the negativity and ugliness of this world an appropriate musical countenance.

On the origin of the name Heergott said: "According to writings by Abraham von Worms from the 15th century, Magoth is a planet spirit that subordinates under Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan and Belial. Thus the name describes exactly the intention behind our works; the alliance of forces and the view on human ado from the perspective of an outside observer."

After one demo ('Der Toten Gesang') in 2017 the band released their first full length player, 'Anti Terrestrial Black Metal', to universal acclaim. It quickly sold out multiple editions of both CD and LP.

A follow up album, 'Zeigest: Dystopia', appeared in 2018. Though celebrated throughout the metal community the project resulted in turmoil within the band leading Heergott to repopulate with new musicians and vow to return to the vision he started with Magoth.

"The new album will bring a return of anti-terrestrial black metal only more epic, more evil," said Heergott, and continued, "It will be another milestone for us. Let's see if it's our 'Master of Puppets'."
