overseas-orders-available

Back here we talked about 9GOATS BLACK OUT’s official online store.

Now as I’m sure most fans realize, a lot of the online stores will not ship overseas and you therefore have to use a shopping sevice, which is great if you want to get items, but does cost extra.  However, 9GOATS BLACK MARK has announced that they will do overseas orders!

But, looks like Aki (formerly GULLET’s drummer) is currently the support drummer for 9GOATS BLACK OUT.
