Bastard Sons of a Judas Goat (often abreviated to BSOAJG or BxSxOxAxJxG) are a doom/drone/noise duo from Mount Sterling, Kentucky. Formed in 2013, BSoaJG produce a style of sounds ranging from meditative drones to bleak doom to harsh noise, with their artwork based in deconstruction and monochrome chaos. Since their beginnings in 2013 they've released three separate releases and performed with various bands around the Kentucky area.
History[]
Bastard Sons of a Judas Goat formed in June 2013 when both members decided to get together and make music after their respective bands broke up around the same time. The next year the band would begin work on studio material and their first live shows, their debut performance on 18 August 2014 at The Green Lantern in Lexington.[1] With a few more shows performed the band would begin recording songs in February the next year. On 29 June 2015 the band would put out their first release in Being., a live recording from the 20 May show. A studio offering in Hexahedron would follow on 3 February 2016 via Bandcamp, along with a cassette-only release in Genesis / The Horror on 15 April 2016.[2]
Further shows in 2016 would include a collab with The Chemical Marriage (Later as Rites of Conversion) and an intended collab with Everyone Lives Everyone Wins (Though canceled this collaboration would happen two years later). A new group would form as a collab of all three that November known as Rites of Conversion. The next year, the duo would begin work on a 29-minute song throughout 2017, releasing it on 28 October as Bitterroot. The band is still active performing shows around Kentucky with new material in the works.
