Bitter Piece is a metal band from Osnabrück in Lower Saxony that was founded in 2004.
The members themselves describe their music with the neologism "Apocylyptic Thrash Attack". “This is made up” , says singer Mariano in an interview, “from our lyrics, which often want to capture and reproduce end-time moods, the basic music (Thrash) as such and the 'go wild live' (the attack), what sets us apart. "
The band name is derived from "Bitter Peace", a song by the US thrash metal band Slayer , which the Bitter Piece musicians state as one of their basic influences.
