Grenade is an Australian black , death and thrash metal band from Sydney , which was formed in 1998, disbanded in 2006 and has been active again since 2012.
history
The band was formed in 1998 and played their first gig in Adelaide in mid-1999 . After further sporadic concerts, the EP Venom of God was released by Decius Productions in mid-2003 . In the same year the group also played together with Mystic Circle . After further occasional appearances, including with NunSlaughter , and another EP in 2004 under the name Hellsong , the termination was announced at the end of 2006. The reason for this was that three of the four band members left the cast. Shortly thereafter, the remaining singer and guitarist Nigel Chad announced that it would be re-established at a later date. After the release of the compilation The Howling Damned via Hells Headbangers Records in mid-2007, the band was revived in 2012 with a new line-up.
style
According to Brian Giffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , the band plays a mix of old-school thrash and death metal. John from graveconcernsezine.com wrote in his review of The Howling Damned that the band played a mix of black and death metal. The compilation features old-school Death Metal in the style of NunSlaughter, Asphyx and Hellhammer .
