The story of Goatsledge begins in the 1800s. Billiam Goetslege, a struggling farmer, lived in the modern day West
Virginia. The season was extremely tough and didn't provide enough food for the upcoming winter. Billy decided to make a deal with the
Devil asking for enough food for the winter and in return Billy would give up his soul.
When Billy snapped back into
reality, he noticed his family was dead. The
Devil made sure there was enough food for Billy for the winter. Billy realizing what has occurred decided to commit self-immolation. As he burned, Billy noticed he could not
die. The
Devil appeared before him. The
Devil reminded Billy that he owned his soul. Billy slowly felt his body begin to morph. He had a goat’s head with a man’s body. The
Devil gifted Billy a sledgehammer. Thus the birth of the entity known as Goatsledge.
GS became the Devil’s repo man. When there was a soul the Devil needed, GS collected. Whenever any form of intense forms of violence or chaos occur, GS was there.
GS is often pictured in heavy
metal culture. Most bands usually have some form of goat as a logo or as album art. GS is often confused with Baphomet, but it is in fact GS.
Followers of GS are known as The Kvlt of Sledge. According to its leader, when GS appears the temperature becomes a confusing state. It is a feeling of being too hot but too cold all at the same time. Also you hear whispers of “Obey the Sledge” and “Live By the Goat,
Die By the Sledge.”
