Goetia

***Mortuary Cult, the first full-length album from Goetia, features ten blasting tracks of Death Metal desecration! Goetia was formed in Washington, DC in the Autumn of 2022 by bassist / vocalist, Matt Scott, guitarist, Demir Soyer, and drummer, Nadia Tydings-Lynch. Goetia self-released their first EP in May of 2023. This was followed by a re-release on Persistent Vision Records and regular touring throughout that year. Their self-titled EP was followed up by their second, Tomb Essence, in 2024, released by Heavy & Fast Records, and finally a third 7” EP, Otherwordly Agency, in 2025 on Voice of the Cielago. Their first Full-Length album, Mortuary Cult, was written and recorded during these years amidst tours alongside Vastum, Altars, Healing Magic, and others. While their first three releases loosely center around occult themes, their debut full-length is more conceptually driven, featuring ten tracks inspired by experiences in an old cemetery in the suburbs of Washington, DC. With Mortuary Cult, Goetia strives to retain the same energy and sound they’re known for, ensuring fast-paced Death Metal with an abundance of chaotically frantic guitar solos and a plethora of blast beats. Mortuary Cult was recorded by Matt Michel (Antichrist Siege Machine, Blood Monolith) at Viva Studio and mixed by Will Killingsworth (Full of Hell, Miasmatic Necrosis, Tomb Mold) at Dead Air Studios.
