The style followed very much in the vein of debut, \u003cem\u003eSoulside Journey\u003c\/em\u003e, with a midpaced melodic, yet technical, death metal style. After the full completion of the tracks, however, Darkthrone's focus shifted towards black metal and a more primitive style of composition and so the album was shelved, while work commenced on what was to be the Norwegian black metal milestone, \u003cem\u003eA Blaze In The Northern Sky\u003c\/em\u003e, which incorporated some parts from the \u003cem\u003eGoatlord\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoatlord : Original\u003c\/em\u003e contains these cult tracks in their original instrumental form, recorded in the band's rehearsal space (vocals were added in the mid-90's before an official release came through \u003cstrong\u003eMoonfog Productions\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1996), with the classic line-up of \u003cstrong\u003eGylve 'Fenris' Nagell\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums, \u003cstrong\u003eTed Skjellum\u003c\/strong\u003e on lead guitar, \u003cstrong\u003eIvar Enger\u003c\/strong\u003e on Rhythm guitar and \u003cstrong\u003eDag Nilsen\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass.
