"Goatlord" is a compilation of demos by the Norwegian black metal band, Darkthrone.

The songs on "Goatlord" are from an instrumental demo tape recorded in 1990-1991 between the band's first and second albums ("Soulside Journey" and "A Blaze in the Northern Sky", respectively). These songs were scrapped when the band changed style from death metal to black metal.

The vocals were then recorded in 1994 by Fenriz. The female-sounding vocals were also recorded by him, partly utilizing pitch shifting. Satyr of the band Satyricon is credited for the opening screams in "Rex" and "Sadomasochistic Rites".
