Биография

Gospel of the Horns formed in 1993 by Mark Howitzer with Rob Hellbutcher (later known as Death Dealer from Vomitor) and original bassist, Anton ( also of Vomitor). In late 1994 the band released their first tape demo, The Satanist's Dream. In 1996, the band broke up and Howitzer relocated to Melbourne, playing drums for fellow black metallers Deströyer 666, even featuring on their 1997 album, Unchain the Wolves. 1997 saw Gospel of the Horns reformed adding Ryan Marauder on guitar and Warhammer on drums. In May 1998 the band's second demo, Sinners, was recorded and released independently. At this stage, the band decided to sign a deal with Dutch label, Damnation Records, that would include a mini-LP and full-length release. Shortly after the release of Sinners, Warhammer was replaced by Obliterator. A deal with the record label Morbid Productions resulted in the release of the 7" EP Monuments of Impurity. The EP contains three tracks, of which one is a cover of the Mortal Sin song "Blood, Death, Hatred". Following the release of their first EP, in 1999 Obliterator was replaced by ex-Bestial Warlust drummer, Hellcunt. A year later, Gospel of the Horns had material to record their mini-LP, Eve of the Conqueror through Damnation Records. In July to August 2000, the band embarked on their first tour of Europe, playing the Netherlands, France, Belgium, England and Ireland as well as Stonehenge Festival in the Netherlands after which they signed to Invictus Productions.
