March Of The Hordes Interview

1. Can you tell us a little bit about the band fro those that have never heard of you before?
Hi!

We are from small town on south of Czech republic and our first band was crust/punk Deviace doby with female vocals (Ex-lex) but this wasn´t that kind of band which you want to listen to:) but we released 2 Cds around 2006 (demo and split with Samochotijoin very small series like 100 copies). Check it here /www.wagnum.blogspot.com/ .
After that we estabilished March of the hordes with urge to play old fashioned death metal with dark lyrics about filth warriors, drunk knights, strange visions...First record was a demo and  a split LP with Disbeatless...in that time we had to kick out singer and stop playing shows. Our last shit is a split CD with Escape the flesh on a  death metal label Lavadome records /www.lavadome.org/ from CZ. Check it or die!
Next release will be 7´´ with scandi crust folks Tommorows hell from Otrokovice (CZ) spring/summer .
