We see a lot of things come across our desks, but the goat in the front row of a Wormrot show thats been kicking around the internet for a few years is one of the best images in metal. Now, thanks to the team over at Noisey, we not only know that the goat had a name, Biquette, but sadly, that Biquette is no longer with us, having passed away last month. The site got in touch with Flo, who helped put on shows at a farm/DIY venue in Mauriac, France, which is where Biquette lived and died.
Biquette, which is actually French for goat, was 10 years old, according to Flo. Shed spent the first half of her life in a milking factory, and was then handed over to the farm, where she immediately started to hang out at the shows. Seeing as the barn floor where we throw the concerts is wooden, I think that she felt the vibrations in her hooves, Flo said. Flo added that the goat really enjoyed any settings with lots of people, and would hang out whenever there was a gathering. In another article for Pigeons and Planes, Wormrots manager said that Biquette was very tame, and followed the Maylaysian grindcore band around like a dog. When it was Wormrots turn to play, the goat suddenly went in front of the crowd and watched them play the whole set, Azean Rot said. It was just chilling around the corner when other bands were playing.

I mean, I haven't seen them live but I've heard some songs. Knowing they had a goat fan makes them even better.
RIP Biquette! Horns up!
