At this point, the IndieGoGo for Hannes Grossmann's new album The Crypts of Sleep is closed, though the campaign raised €12,555 of the original €10,000 it was asking for! The album should be out sometime this month, and features one hell of a lineup (if you haven't already heard). The lineup includes –
- Morean – Vocals (Dark Fortress, Alkaloid)
- Danny Tunker – Rhythm and lead guitars (Abhorrent, Alkaloid, ex-Aborted)
- Linus Klausenitzer – Bass (Obscura, Alkaloid)
- Hannes Grossmann – Drums (Alkaloid, Blotted Science, ex-Necrophagist)
- Fountainhead – Solo guitar (ex-Obscura)
- Per Nilsson – Solo guitar (Scar Symmetry)
- Erik Rutan – Solo guitars (Hate Eternal, ex-Morbid Angel)
- Christian Muenzner – Lead guitars (Spawn of Possession, ex-Obscura, ex-Necrophagist, Alkaloid, Eternity's End)
All that being said, prpare yourself for "Oceanborn." It's a song that fools you into think it'll be midpaced with acoustic guitars and a general lack of breakneck motion… but then it does that, and then speeds up again because fuck you. Hannes Grossman is really good at drums.
