Lord Vicar & Thronehammer

Lord Vicar

Traditional Finnish Doom Metal - Turku (FIN)

Kimi Kärki was "christened" Peter Vicar by Sami Hynninen when they founded Reverend Bizarre. He kept the name throughout Reverend Bizarre's (holy) career, then changed it to Peter Inverted, after Saint Peter, who asked to be crucified inverted (upside down), when he founded Lord Vicar.

Sir Lord Chritus powerful Vocals (2007-present) are remarkable and unique in the whole scene, as he was also singing in Count Raven, Goatess and Saint Vitus.

Vicar are currently recording their #4 studio album, to be released via Church Within Records very soon!

Thronehammer

Sludgiest Version of Epic Doom - Durham (UK) / Fürth (D)

The band unites United Kingdom and German musicians Kat Shevil Gillham (Uncoffined / Winds of Genocide / Ex-BlessedRealm), Stuart West (Ex-OBELYSKKH / Ex-The Walruz) and Tim Schmidt (Naked Star / Seamount). „Usurper of the oaken throne“ is the debut full-length born of this union of notable extreme music perpetrators, rending nearly eigthy minutes of purely epic metal, bridging low-end heaviness with melodic destruction.They’re a powerful storm of aggression, gaining more and more momentum with true, honest spirit. „Usurper of the oaken throne“ has taken Thronehammer´s classic Candlemass-meets-Bathory-meets-Warhorse sound to new places.

A return to the eve of all that’s heavy, punishing & epic! Epic doom at its bleakest. They come to slay!

Their debut LP "Usurper of the Oaken Throne" is out in May 2019 via Church Within Records .
