The excruciatingly slow hiatus is over! Wait no longer, as the Snake slithers again! New Goatsnake material baby! Like a fine wine, these 3 new songs have been fermenting for the last couple of years.

Initial tracks, sans the vocals, were laid down during the summer of 2002 by guitarist Greg Anderson (Sunn0))), Thorr's Hammer) and session drums by JR (Cave-In). Sub-sonic thunder was recently provided by none other than the legendary Scott Reeder (Unida, Kyuss, The Obsessed). The last piece of the puzzle was the intense, soulful vocals of Pete Stahl (Orquesta del Desierto, earthlings?).

The rabid cult followings' ravenous hunger for Snake blood will finally be satisfied. The new material is heavier and stronger than ever before and most definitely a sign of enormous things to come!!

Rounding out the Trampled Under Hoof EP are two rare bonus cover tracks. The first is a punishing version of the early Saint Vitus track "Burial at Sea" and the second is the whiskey-fueled Black Oak Arkansas standard "Hot Rod".
