Info:
"Bitterness" means "unhappiness”, but for some years now it also stands for "Old school Thrash Metal made in South Germany".
Formed in 2001, BITTERNESS always have stated their reputation as a damn heavy live act, playing more than 300 shows at home and abroad. The band's typical sound contains classic Thrash attacks and combines them with some gloomy Death Metal parts, as well as elements of Gothenburg-style Melodic Death.
The new album “Hallowed Be The Game” will be released via G.U.C. on February 6th, 2026 and was recorded, mixed and mastered by producer Christoph Brandes (Necrophagist, a.o.) during fall 2025 at the Iguana Studios in Freiburg (Germany). For the first time in the band's history there are also guest musicians featured on this album. Andreas “Gerre” Geremia (Tankard) contributed the vocals for “High Sobriety” and Michael Goldschmidt played the guitar solos on “High Sobriety” and “Win-Windustry”. The cover artwork was created by Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Havok, Exarsis, Dust Bolt, a.o.).
