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.”
