Thy Bleeding Skies

Since he quit his job as a guitar player for being the singer in his band SACRIFICIUM, Claudio A. Enzler (MY DARKEST HATE / Massacre Records, SACRIFICIUM / Black Lotus Records) had the idea of a band called THY BLEEDING SKIES. The music should be Swedish Death Metal with influences of traditional Death Metal and Doom Metal. In the middle of 2006 he asked his favourite drummer and close friend JJ Kontoniemi (ICONCLAN / Whirlwind Records, DEUTERONOMIUM / Bulldozer Records, FEILED / Poko Records) from Helsinki (FIN) if he has the time and the energy for being the drummer in a German band. JJ was enthusiastic about the idea and after a short time they decided to work together. Second and third guitar players were found after Claudio's time as a session singer in the German Black Metal band MIGHT OF LILITH. Wolfgang Nillies (who was a student of Victor Smolski / RAGE ) and Robert Krizek (LIFTHRASIL / Supreme Chaos Records, MIGHT OF LILITH) were the perfect solution for THY BLEEDING SKIES. Finally a bass player was found in Patrick Uhlmann (THUMBRAISER / Whirlwind Records). In November they booked the BREAKSTUFF-Studio in Germany for the guitar, bass and vocal recordings of their debut CD "Chapters Of Downfall". Drums were recorded in December at C.C.P.C.-studio in Finland that also the great AMORPHIS used in the past. After the recording session THY BLEEDING SKIES signed a contract over one record with Dark Balance Records from Netherlands. The release date was the 05th of May 2008. In April 2008 they played a tour through Europe. In May 2008 Patrick Uhlmann decided to leave the band, because he couldn..t invest the time into TBS that the band would need. A couple of weeks later Robert switched to the bass player position and Oliver Grosshans (MY DARKEST HATE,EX-SACRED STEEL) joined the band as a guitar player. The band finished their song writing of their 2nd album half a year after the release of the 1st one and startet to record the album in February 2009, but because of some issues with the studio equipment it took over 9 months to finish the recordings. AUTUMN SOULS, which will be the title of the 2nd piece, will be released in the middle of 2010. Be prepared!!!
