Having started out in black and death metal, it didn't take long for TIAMAT to devote themselves, first in parts and then fully, to completely different spheres and thus become one of the pioneering bands of what we now call gothic metal. Always on the trail of innovations in sound and aesthetics, the Swedes can be counted among the pioneers of the subgenre.

Don't wander too far because the good is so close. In the case of NECROWRETCH, the good (or rather the evil) is in France and has a lot going for it. If you've always thought Merciless was cool and Watain is now too crazy for you, you'll be happy here. Black Death at its finest, which not only blares out of the speakers but also brutally tears everything down.
