Goat Horn was a heavy metal band founded in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada in late 1999. The band was composed of Jason Decay (lead vocal / bass), Brandon Wars (guitar) and Steel Rider (drums).Decay, Wars, and Rider had all been in and out of bands on the local scene before forming Goat Horn. What began as a jam of Cathedral and Judas Priest covers quickly developed into a serious project. Their music was influenced by ground-breaking metal bands such as Venom, Raven, Eudoxis (Canadian thrash metal pioneers), and Celtic Frost.
With the release of their 2001 debut, Voyage To Nowhere, Goat Horn became the main focus and priority of each member's musical endeavors. This album was recorded in a one-day session in February 2001. In September 2001, they relocated to Toronto in order to gain more exposure. The majority of 2002 was spent touring Ontario, Quebec and the northern United States.
During the winter of 2003, the band re-entered the studio to prepare their sophomore release. In June 2003, Storming The Gates was released. The band's last album was entitled Threatening Force, and it was released in 2005. Goat Horn disbanded in 2006, forming two new bands Cauldron (with Jason Decay) and Zuku (with Brandon Wars).
