THE SPIRIT - THRON - CHAOS INVOCATION
The Spirit
Formed in Saarbrücken in 2015, THE SPIRIT have emerged from the depth of the German extreme metal void to breathe new life into the black/death metal genre.Often circling around an astronomic leitmotif in their lyricsand concepts, the band is mixinga misanthropic view on the world with cosmic metaphors and the call to see our often narrow-minded and egocentric existence in the larger context of our whole universe.For two years, the foursome gathered their powers to record theirdebut album at the Iguana Studios in 2017, and decided to found their own label, Eternal Echoes, in October of the same year, to release “Sounds From The Vortex”.Due to raving press reviews and having made waves in the underground, THE SPIRIT quickly caught the attention of the leading metal label Nuclear Blast and in spring 2018, the band partnered up with them in order to make their debut once again available to a wider audience after the Eternal Echoes edition being out of print already.After a busy year of 2018, packed with release shows at the German Party.San and Summer Breeze festivals as well as an extensive European tour with Hypocrisy, the band once again entered the studio to push the boundaries of the genre and record their sophomore album. With several vinyl editions having been sold out within only a few hours, ”Cosmic Terror“saw the light of day through AOP Records on February 7th and immediately hit #40 of the official German album charts.On their third offering, “Of Clarity and Galactic Structures”,that entered the charts on a phenomenal #19 in Germany,the band that by now reduced its members to the two core musicians Matthias Trautes(vocals, guitars, bass) and Manuel Steitz(drums), hold on to their black/death metal roots yet take the progressive elements to a whole new levelwiththe brain twisting rhythm changes and virtuosic instrumental performances.The bands upcoming fourth record “Songs Against Humanity”will be released on October the 25th2024 via AOP Records.
The Spirit is:Matthias Trautes Guitar/Vocals; Manuel Steitz Drums; Stanley Robertson Guitar(Live); Linus Klausenitzer Bass (Live)

Thron
Formed in 2015 as a project of experienced, devoted musicians from German bands in the Black Forest region, Thron's initial goals were to play authentic black/death in the spirit of the early to mid 90's. Although born in Germany, Thron could originate from a Nordic country though: heavily influenced by bands like Dissection, Dawn, Possessed and Mercyful fate among others, adding traditional heavy metal flavour a la Judas Priest; the band create a blazing symbiosis of icy melodies, harshness and a haunting atmosphere. Thron released their self titled debut album in 2017; followed by the critically acclaimed
"Abysmal" and the stunning third album "Pilgrim", its roaring response vigorously spread the name across the globe thanks to their diabolical twin guitar black/death metal attacks.
