The smoke still rises… and the wait is over!
French heavy-stoner powerhouse GOATFATHER unleash their brand-new album ‘House of the Rising Smoke’ — out now on all formats via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
efore the release of their latest single “Stoner Dream” set speakers ablaze, GOATFATHER gave us a first taste of the storm with “Night of the Blue Smoke” — a dark, hypnotic track that perfectly captured the band’s signature blend of brooding riffs, heavy grooves, and haunting intensity.
Now, the full inferno is here.
‘House of the Rising Smoke’ cements GOATFATHER’s place among the most exciting acts in the heavy rock and stoner scene — raw, powerful, and unapologetically heavy.
…For the record…
Formed in Lyon, France, in 2014, GOATFATHER is a four-piece, high-voltage heavy stoner band blending stoner rock, southern rock, and heavy metal with crushing riffs and a raw, intoxicating energy. Their music channels a relentless quest for freedom, drawing inspiration from legends such as Orange Goblin, Corrosion of Conformity, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Black Sabbath, while forging a distinct voice that is simultaneously heavy and hypnotic.
Known for their electrifying live performances, GOATFATHER has played over 100 shows across France, including major festivals like SYLAK Open Air, and has supported international acts such as Crowbar and Stoned Jesus.
Following the critical success of Hipster Fister (2016) and Monster Truck (2021), GOATFATHER is set to release their third album, House of the Rising Smoke. Recorded at Warmaudio Studio (CELESTE, Cult of Occult) in January 2024, the album captures the band at their heaviest and most unrelenting yet finely crafted, promising another milestone in their rise as one of France’s most respected stoner acts.
Scheduled for release in October 2025 via the Italian imprint Argonauta Records, GOATFATHER continues to push boundaries, delivering music that combines riff-driven power with uncompromising spirit.
