Description
Speedgoat: The Return of True Combat Speed/Rock 'n' Roll. Formed in Brescia between 2020 and 2021 by Nicco Papini, Speedgoat represent one of the most incendiary and uncompromising acts on the new Italian heavy metal scene. The band offers visceral, raw, and high-octane speed metal, where the destructive attitude of early black/thrash metal blends with the streetwise groove of the wildest rock 'n' roll. Their sound is a direct tribute to transgenerational legends like Motorhead and Venom, contaminated by the punk-hardcore energy of acts like Zeke and the rock-solid sound of Chrome Division. The power trio combines the energy of the new generation with the experience of a veteran of the national extreme metal scene: Helgast on drums and backing vocals. A longtime musician in the Italian underground, known for his role behind the drums of occult cult leaders Mortuary Drape until 2007. Nicco Vocals and Bass. The mastermind behind the project and the creator of the tightly woven bass lines that set the band's pace. Big Wolf Guitar. The band's sonic engine, responsible for cutting riffs and lightning-fast solos.
The Speedgoat 666 Sound Manifesto: After setting the underground on fire in 2023 with their debut single, "Kerosene," and its accompanying music video, the band channeled all their violence into their long-awaited first official full-length: Speedgoat 666. Released in May 2026 by Northern Darkness Records, this raw and nihilistic concept album narrates the "bad trip" of the mysterious entity Speedgoat, who descended to Earth to unleash chaos. While the early compositions paid tribute to classic speed, the album marks a clear evolution: the rock 'n' roll structure is overwhelmed by sudden bursts of speed approaching extreme metal and grindcore, creating a claustrophobic and devastating wall of sound. The Live Dimension, the true nature of Speedgoat, emerges on stage, where the trio has already distinguished itself with adrenaline-fueled performances and impactful volumes. Despite the project's young age, the band has already shared the stage with international heavyweights and metal icons such as Sepultura, Exodus, Brujeria, Sadist, and Electrocution.
