The first live appearance of epic pagan metallers CROM will take place on May 19th when they are due to open for DARK FORTRESS in Landshut, Germany, hometown of both bands.
Walter (Crom) Grosse, sole member of the band, and himself a former member of Dark Fortress, has put together a live line-up that includes Dark Fortress members Draug on bass, Seraph on drums and backing vocals, and Asvargr on guitars.
Commented Grosse, “It’s particularly fitting that the first gig should take place supporting my former band. We are all old, and very close, friends and everyone wants to make this a very special event for family, friends and fans alike.”
The gig will take place at the Alte Kaserne, Liesl-Karlstadt-Weg 4, 84036 Landshut, Germany. The complete running order being Crom, DARK AGE, THE VISION BLEAK and Dark Fortress, who plan to film their own set for future possible release on DVD. Doors open at 8 PM for an 8:30 PM start.
Crom’s latest album, Vengeance, is nearing completion, and includes artwork by Belgian fantasy artist Kris Verwimp. Two tracks from the album can be heard on the bands website www.croms-revenge.de.
Together with Dark Fortress vocalist Azathoth, Grosse also has a black metal side project SINDECADE, which recently released the Terrorcrowned MCD, a track from which can be heard on the band’s official MySpace page www.myspace.com/sindecadeband.
