Tonight's post modern music appreciation club


Tonight we present Australian death metal band Gospel of the Horns.
From the band's myspace page:
Gospel of the Horns formed in Brisbane, Australia, in 93and in late 94 they released their cult demo The Satanist's Dream on Einstand Records from Italy. In 96 Howitzer moved to Melbourne where he teamed up with Destroyer 666, playing drums for the Unchain the Wolves album. During this period, Howitzer was seeking adequate heathens to reform Gospel of the Horns. Finally emerging in June 97 with Marauder taking over the guitar duties. Their second demo Sinners was recorded in May 98, once again selling well and gaining extremely positive reviews. After much consideration, the band decided to sign a deal with Damnation Records from Holland. In November 98,Gospel did a deal with Morbid Productions [Australia] to release the Monuments of Impurity 7" EP [limited to 300]. It contained three tracks which included Blood, Death, Hatred - a Mortal Sin number taken from their classic Mayhemic Destruction LP. Soon after this, Hellcunt [ex-Bestial Warlust, Anatomy, Entasis] joined the band injecting a more solid edge to the music. Gospel of the Horns debut M.L.P on Damnation was released in February 2000, entitled Eve of the Conqueror.
Clearly Gospel of the Horns is a force to be reckoned with in the closed in little world of teenagers with profound emotional problems.
Here is a video of the band performing at the Bloodlust Festival in 2003:
