Bütcher - 666 Goats Carry My Chariot

Biography By the end of 2002, on a cold winter night, just as cliché dictates, JA Pulsatör (bass) and R Hellshrieker (vocals) were out drinking like hell. Both of them were involved in Suhrim and Battalion respectively, and these two bands were firmly rooted in the old school realm of death metal. They shared the stage quite some times until then, always chatting up on the old days and partying like its 1986. Anyway, that particular night the focus really shifted towards the classic and obscure speed, thrash, heavy metal acts. The idea of starting an 80s speed metal band had been slumbering for a few months, but that particular night the spark ignited the Bütcher metal flame. PB Tormentor (drums) was also present, he talked to Johan already for years about hitting the old school style, and it just didnt take long to figure out this was really going to happen. Bütcher acted as a 5-piece band, with Captain Bitch and Philthy taking up the guitars. The first demo Speed Metal Attakk followed soon after, accompagnied by a lot of crazy shows. Inevitably, there were some changes in the line-up and the second demo Excessive Use of Force was recorded with Pieter and Pat. The band continued playing some wild gigs but disbanded in 2006 or 2007, who even remembers? Now, this may seem like a short lifespan and it probably was up until that point. But in the local underground everybody remembers the intensity of the shows, the beers and the good times. The audience screamed, banged and bled to songs such as Heavy Assault, Speed Metal Attakk, Seed of the Blasphemer and The Blakk Krusader. Fast forward to 2014. Yes, again partying hard, and again that spark that wants us to get together. KK Ripper (lead guitar) is eagerly willing to rip it up with the old lads, and with blistering speed and a healthy dose of insanity there's a new chapter in the history of this speed metal band to be written. DB Deströyer joins as a live member by the end of 2016. Acting with a no nonsense approach, the band is now a 5 piece machine of mayhem. But we would be lying if we didnt need YOU to join us for some crazy moments. Don your spikes, buckle up your bullet belt, wear your denim vest. But don't think for a moment this is a 'retro' band, ha! Welcome to the slaughter, were back.
