‘Storming the Walls of Eternity’ is the second track revealed from WITCHGÖAT’s third album, Serpent Hordes. The Salvadoran quartet premiered the song on November 4, 2026, exclusively through NoCleanSinging.com, where it can be heard in full.

Serpent Hordes is scheduled for international release on December 4th, with Personal Records handling the CD and Morbid Skull Records the cassette version. Preorder information is available. The previously revealed title track, ‘Serpent Hordes,’ can also be heard at Personal Records’ Bandcamp.

Recorded in 2025, the album follows a reassessment of WITCHGÖAT’s direction in 2024. The band sought to combine elements of their previous releases while refining their compositions, developing the guitar solos and adding influences from traditional speed metal. Its release marks the band’s tenth anniversary.

The announcement describes the resulting album through reference points including Swordmaster, Dissection, Lord Belial, Sweden’s Crown Of Thorns, Cardinal Sin and Raise Hell, alongside the atmosphere of Pleasure to Kill-era Kreator. It also emphasizes the record’s melodicism and solos, presenting it as a reflection of the musicians’ increased maturity and balance.

That combination traces back to guitarist P. Scyther’s initial plans in the first half of 2016. Having participated in Salvadoran musical projects since the early 1990s, he began writing material that brought together the rawness of 1980s South American and European thrash with the melodies of first- and second-wave Scandinavian blackened death metal and black metal. M. Miasma joined the project and supplied its first occult-themed lyrics. Each contributed a word to the original compound name, Witch-goat, subsequently stylized as WITCHGÖAT.

In early 2017, M. Miasma recruited bassist C. Fog, and P. Scyther brought in drummer E. Driller. Rehearsals began as writing continued. The band recorded the demo Umbra Regit in early 2018, followed shortly afterward by their debut album, Egregors of the Black Faith. Both appeared through Salvadoran label Morbid Skull Records and, according to the announcement, received positive reviews from specialized media.

WITCHGÖAT returned to the studio in 2022 for Altars of Necromancy, released in late 2023 through Morbid Skull Records. That album moved further toward pure black metal in its composition and production, preceding the approach developed for Serpent Hordes.
