Bio:

1997: Crom dissolves his band TEARS OF TIME, to join German Black Metal band DARK FORTRESS on guitar, only to realise after a while that playing guitar would not completely satisfy him. So, in the winter of that year, he founded his solo project CROM, which has been described as Majestic Melodic Metal.
2000: Crom leaves DARK FORTRESS to concentrate all his attention on CROM, and the first demo is released (Promo 2000).
2002: In January Crom enters the Aexxys Art / Schwandorf studios to record "The Fallen Beauty" EP. However, the studio undergoes refurbishment immediately after recording ends, causing the final mixing to be delayed, and the CD is not completed until June 2002.
Another self-produced MCD follows on from "The Fallen Beauty" (Promo 2002).
2005: Crom joins DARK FORTRESS vocalist AZATHOTH, to form SINDECADE, a Black Metal side project, and the MCD "Terrorcrowned" is released on his own label Neocreation Productions. This is purely a recording project and was never intended to be a live band.
2007: February sees the completion of the new CROM album "Vengeance". CROM’s first live performance takes place in May when the band supports DARK FORTRESS.
2008: CROM signs to Pure Steel Records and “Vengeance” is released on the 29th August.

Album:

Formed by ex Dark Fortress guitarist Walter ‘Crom’ Grosse, this is his namesake solo band with its inspiration unmistakably taken from Conan and musically Bathory and early Manowar. As such, if its epic warrior metal that you crave, then look no further as this is what Crom is all about. Yet while some songs may be hard and involve stirring Nordic choirs, in the main Crom is about ballads and usually sorrowful ones about fallen heroes, mourned brothers and missed friends, often using gentle acoustics and deep folk melodies with strong overall emphasis on evoking a powerful atmosphere steeped in heart breaking warrior passion. With Grosse covering manly soulful vocals touched by melancholia as well as all guitars, he is joined once again by Dark Fortress drummer Seraph and former keyboardist Paymon on additional backing vocals. “When Northmen Die” is Grosse’s 3rd full length release and while he certainly takes his time to issue his albums, they’re well worth the wait given the excellent compositions, all 13 of which certainly hit the mark in every sense from being emotively memorable to using intelligent arrangements, all of which collude to produce that aforementioned powerful atmosphere on songs like the thundering ‘Behold The Lights’ with its double bass drumming and even heavier warrior choirs, the flowing guitar passion on ‘Shields Of Gold’ and ‘One Step To The Lake Below’, an epic tale building through heavy, dirty guitars superbly contrasted by soulful vocals and dark drawls, along with wailing guitar melodies and even more haunting choirs – wow! All I can say is if you’ve not heard Crom before, then I strongly urge you to do so, for you may be in for a surprise…and a truly magical one at that.

Walter 'Crom' Grosse – vocals, guitars, bass, choir
