Grenouer
Grenouer is a Russian rock and metal band, formed in late 1992 in Perm. Their name is an intentional misspelling of grimoire, a magic textbook. History The debut was followed by other albums, released in Russia by labels like Irond, More Hate, Blacksmith Productions, and Metallism, further developing their death metal approach. The third album, ''The Odour O' Folly,'' included a heavy cover version of A-Ha's " Take On Me". The fourth album ''Presence With War'' lyrically dealt with the Iraq-related war issues; its front cover was made by Mickmo, an American creator of comic books. Grenouer "is the most impressive metal statement from an unlikely source," Steve Beebee wrote in 2009, reviewing the album for ''Kerrang!'' and giving it a 4K-rating. In the mid-2000s, Grenouer’s music began to change dramatically and at the same period musicians also relocated to Saint Petersburg. Preference was given to hardcore, math metal and even progressive rock. The fifth album ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
