Биография

Formed in Saarbrücken in 2015, THE SPIRIT have emerged from the depth of the German extreme metal void to breathe new life into the black/death metal genre. For two years, the band gathered their powers to record their debut album in 2017 and decided to found their own label, Eternal Echoes, in October of the same year, to release “Sounds From The Vortex”. Due to raving press reviews and having made waves in the underground, THE SPIRIT quickly caught the attention of the leading metal label Nuclear Blast and in spring 2018, the band partnered up with them in order to make their debut once again available to a wider audience. After a busy year of 2018, packed with release shows at the German Party.San and Summer Breeze festivals as well as an extensive European tour with Hypocrisy, the band once again entered the studio to push the boundaries of the genre and record their sophomore album. With several vinyl editions having been sold out within only a few hours, „Cosmic Terror“ saw the light of day through AOP Records on February 7th and immediately hit #40 of the official German album charts. On their upcoming third offering, “Of Clarity and Galactic Structures”, the band hold on to their black/death metal roots yet take the progressive elements to a whole new level with the brain twisting rhythm changes and virtuosic instrumental performances.
