Philosopher

explain the nature of things around them. A person

devoted to studying and producing results in

philosophy. The word, "philosopher," literally means

"lover of wisdom."

PHILOSOPHER from Chemnitz / Germany were formed in Winter 2002

in order to deliver technical, yet accessible “Odschool” Death

Metal. Influenced by such classical heroes of the genre such

as Morbid Angel and Death, the band wasted little time to

join live action soon after the first songs were written.

In 2004 the band signed with RUPTURED SILENCE Rec. and produced

their first album "Thoughts" at Worldsend Studio with Sound-Wiz

Mario Dahmen (who worked for Roadrunner and Locomotive Music

and bands like The Anti Doctrine, 10-Fold-B-Low and many others.)

PHILOSOPHER are currently gigging to promote their current

output, which gained a storm of positive reactions from

the local metal underground. Although their relatively

short period of existence the band became quickly recognized

for their unique brand of versatile, “thought-out”, yet

catchy Death Metal and powerful life-performances. Their strong

musical relation to famous american writer H.P.Lovecraft made

them soon well-known not only to Death Metal Fans.

Due to massively self-promoting their Demo and Album

PHILOSOPHER gigged with bands such as Finntroll (Fin),

Amoral (Fin), Naglfar (Swe), Fleshless (CZ), Debauchery,

Soul Demise, Death Reality and many, many others.

In 2006 the band released their next Output "Laws ov Form" EP.

Although strongly related to their Oldschool-Influences

and “Elder Things” in general, PHILOSOPHER never live in

the past, but look forward on the next steps toward their

future goals.
