The Heavy Bleat : French Heavy Stoner Rockers GOATFATHER Unveil New Single & Video “Stoner Dream” - New album out on October 24th
French heavy rockers GOATFATHER have dropped their brand-new single “Stoner Dream”, taken from the forthcoming album House of the Rising Smoke, out October 24th via Argonauta Records.
Packed with burning riffs, thunderous vocals, and a groove that won’t let go, “Stoner Dream” is accompanied by a dynamic new video directed by Anthony Mouchet, perfectly capturing the band’s raw energy and unapologetic spirit.
The new single follows “Night of the Blue Smoke”, the album’s first preview, which offered fans a darker and more atmospheric glimpse into GOATFATHER’s sonic universe. Together, the two tracks showcase the range, intensity, and evolution driving the band’s highly anticipated third record.
These first singles set the tone for an album brimming with unapologetic energy and crushing heaviness, positioning 'House of the Rising Smoke' as one of 2025’s standout heavy rock releases.
...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.
