History & Biography
The deathrash band from Baden-Württemberg in Southwestern Germany was founded by former Steel Tormentor men in 2001 and released a full-length demo called ...And Death Marches On in that year. The band was composed of singer and guitarist Frank Urschler, bassist Sebastian Jehle and drummer Andreas Kiechle. The follow-up demo was 2002's Dawn Of Golden Blood. Yet another demo was 2003's Sweet Suicide Solutions. Alex Hinterberger was the second guitarist now.

The G.U.C. label released a single called Marching Towards Infinity in 2004. The title clearly contradicted the band's last demo. Someone called Heavy Horses Records released the band's Autumn's Fall debut album in 2005. There was a European-Tour with Onkel Tom and a mini-tour with Necrophobic and Raise Hell. G.U.C. was back with the band's As All Beauty Starts To Fade… EP of 2007. M666 (a.k.a. Marcel Konz) was on bass. This man would leave in 2012 and rejoin in 2023. Regardless, more mini touring occurred with Morgana Lefay and Sacred Steel and then with Lividity and Master. The group was invited to the Fuck The Commerce XI in Germany. G.U.C. and the band released a full-length in 2009. In the meantime, singer Urschler and drummer Kiechle would also join the reformed heavy metal band Stormhunter. The Final Declaration Of The End (Swansongs For The Faithful) was not true to its name in 2012. 10 Years In T.H.R.A.S.H. was a box set compilation in 2013. The group was billed at the Aaargh Festival in 2013.

Staying with G.U.C., out came Resurrexodus to begin 2015. Thomas Kneer was on the bass guitar. Germany-based Bitterness released a full-length, called Hallowed Be The Game, through G.U.C. on February 6th 2026. This came six years after its predecessor. The band was commemorating its 25th anniversary.
