Vomitor is an Australian thrash and death metal band from Whyalla that was formed in 1999. The group now has its headquarters in the Irish Dublin laid.
history
The band was formed in mid-1999 by singer and guitarist Rob "Death Dealer" Curry after he left Spear of Longinus . For Vomitor, he used almost all of the songs by Vulgar, a band from 1992 in which he was Abominator's Broadway with Chris "Volcano" . The line-up was supplemented by bassist Anton Vomit and drummer Big Lee Griffiths, who also worked for Spear of Longinus. A first demo appeared two weeks later . In 2000 the demo Neutron Hammer was released , which was originally intended for Spear of Longinus. Then Griffiths left the line-up and was replaced by BC, whereupon the 2002 debut album Bleeding the Priest appeared on Metal Blood Music . The recordings for this took nine hours, the mixing twelve hours and the mastering eleven hours. Griffiths then rejoined the band, before appearing with Incantation in 2003 . After several years of inactivity, further gigs followed in February 2008, in which Marcus Hellcunt from Gospel of the Horns took over the drums. Griffiths had previously left the band to form Grippuid. In 2009 the live album Cry from the Underground was released on Hells Headbangers Records , which was followed by the studio album Devils Poison on Kneel Before the Master's Throne Records in 2010 . In 2011 the band took part in the Hole in the Sky Festival in Bergen . In addition to Curry, the other members could not participate, whereupon Erik Danielsson and Davide "Set Teitan" Totaro from Watain helped out. In 2012 the group played with Evil Invaders and also performed in Europe . The following year the group took part in Hell's Pleasure , among other things . In 2016 the next studio album followed through Invictus Productions under the name Prayers to Hell .
style
Metalireland.com's Andy Cunningham compared Bleeding the Priest to Metallica's Kill 'Em All and Sodom . Devils Poison is more aggressive and primitive Death Metal. In an interview with Cunningham, Curry cited early speed and death metal as influences. The songs are about satanism and destruction, which Curry says all metal songs should be about. Brian Giffin assigned the band to death and thrash metal in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal . In Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries, Jon Kristiansen compared the album Bleeding the Priest with Sodom's Obsessed by Cruelty and with releases by South American bands such as Holocausto . In his review of The Escalation , Robert Müller from Metal Hammer wrote that it could hear Thrash Metal in the old school style. The album sometimes contains bumpy, unmistakable songs and uses "billo riffs " that would be combined with an asthmatic one .
