She did it for the Goat. Sarah Smith aka Sarah Evil, long time goat enthusiast and metal music fan was disappointed in the lack of quality and selection in goat-laden attire, which had been monopolized primarily by images of Baphomet. These images failed to project what she understood the Goat to represent. In 2004 she married her loves; the Goat, and metal, creating an ideal union in Evil Threads, and the Goat Alliance.
The Goat Alliance is a family; the parts support the whole, and the whole supports the Goat. "We know the Goat isn't real. He's an idea, a symbol," says Smith (Keeper of the Goat), insisting that Evil Threads is not a Satanic clothing company -- they just really like goats. Historically, the goat has been deified; its image prevalent in cultures worldwide, including the Goat of Mendes, whose representation often appears in a pentagram. Universally common is the concept of the scapegoat, one who accepts fault for the misgivings of an entire community, thus allowing the rest to feel morally blameless. Contrary to this, Evil Threads venerates the Goat as representative of the darker side of human nature, rather than denying or finding fault in it. Appreciating this inherent evil, and the capabilities therein is power via self-awareness.
Resolute in upholding this significance, honoring the Goat through quality design, Evil Threads has employed the talents of a handful of artists. Main Evil Threads artist, Nar, was recently hired by Marvel to draw for Upper Deck. Lizzy Borden, the official spokesmodel, was chosen among the throngs not only for her engaging countenance (hottie hot); her infamy (former adult film star, president of Extreme Associates) alone makes her an exemplary representative of the Goat. Evil Threads is equally discerning when selecting bands to sponsor, always opting for potential over popularity, sponsoring bands before they're signed. Time has proven the Goat to have an eye for talent – In this Moment, Ankla, and Media Lab were all sponsored before they were signed, and now 2 of them are touring together on Ozzfest.
Remaining 'underground' has allowed Evil Threads to keep its finger on the pulse of both the music and alternative clothing industries without falling into the pitfalls of trends. They continue to happily outfit the populace with evil and hopefully offensive attire, and do it for the Goat.
