Grond(I am the Forest is complete!)

About Me

Black/blackened/melodic/progressive/viking/folk/brutal death grind hailing from Chicago.
Started in February of 2007 as Blasphemous Brutality as a one-man project. Originally started as a melodic death metal band that soon spawned into all the genres it is now because I simply I want to play everything! I was sick of hearing bands put out albums that sound like mere continuations of the first track on the album and wanted to listen to a band that pretty much plays everything, since there aren't enough of those. At that moment, Grond was born from the decaying carcass of the mockery of metal that was Blasphemous Brutality. From there, I have set forth on my perennial quest to reflect all that I feel into my music--resulting in the mix of music now set before thee.
"Despite the Blackened Sun that constantly hangs above, the light shall waver on, fighting a battle it cannot hope to win. Depressing? No, but it does give hope to the dead..."
Debut album, I am the Forest, to be released 2009

Grond
