The Grotesquery was formed in early 2009, when Swedish death metal legend Rogga Johansson (Deranged/Ribspreader/Paganizer) and vocal legend Kam Lee from (Death, Massacre and Mantas) started talking just after finishing up work on their Horror/Gore Death band Bone Gnawers debut album. They had a several talks about creating a new band that would base it’s lyrical themes on the dark supernatural and creating a sort of ‘concept’ type album. With lyrics based on stories by H.P. Lovecraft’s Macabre Tales, Ghost stories and poems by Ambrose Bierce and Edgar Allan Poe, the occult, the paranormal, the supernatural, all the morbid horrid terrors hidden in the dark places of the earth and those things that go bump in the night! And to do it as a project with the type of music highly influenced from the brutal style of early 90’s death metal bands – with a touch of the avant-garde and an unorthodox and experimental feel. And now those conversations have become a reality in the form of the band called: The Grotesquery. Keeping with traditional 90’s old school death metal style and sound and forming a haunting atmosphere and chilling story line, Kam has crafted a gothic horror tale within his lyrics around eleven dynamic, intense, and morbidly atmospheric death metal music tracks written by Rogga. The songs tell an outstanding, gloomy and morbid Horror-Concept-story influenced by H.P. Lovecraft and E.A. Poe. The fantastic artistic skills of Grand Master Turkka Rantanen are used for the entire dark and ominous atmosphere to the outer and inner layers of the album design. Bringing to life the mad scribblings and eccentric writings of Dr. Ward! The brutal, clear and transparent sound was mixed, mastered and autopsied by Dan Swano at Unisound Studio. Buy this one and prepare yourself to be taken on a ghastly morbid journey of death, doom, and self destruction!
