Houwitser started in 1997 by an idea of drummer Aad (SINISTER) and guitarist Michel (ex-SINISTER). After they written a bunch of songs, they completed the line-up with singer Mike (ex~SINISTER) and bass-player Theo (JUDGEMENT DAY). After a couple of rehearsels with the complete line-up they decided to record some promo stuff. Houwitser recorded 6 songs on only 4 fuckin tracks in only one night. The song titles are: MONKEY IN CONTROL, SHREDDED TO PIECES, TRIP OF FIRE, D. P.W, DEAD IS A FACT and FISTFULL OF VIXEN. The material that Houwitser recorded was mainly meant for interested labels. The music of Houwitser is a combination of thrash, grind and death metal. Absolute no trendy shit here, just brutal, aggressive and fast music. In June 1998 Houwitser signed with Displeased records for 2 CDs.Their debut CD 'Death but not buried' was released in the spring of 1999 and got great reviews and good sales untill now. After some extensive touring through the Benelux, Houwitser parted with their singer Mike van Mastrigt and soon found a replacement in Arjaan "Djortz" Kampman. Soon they recorded the second album "Embrace Damnation" and did even more gigs in the Benelux and Germany. After one year Arjaan decided to leave the band, which is a big loss, since he's a great singer. His follow-up is Stan Block. A young guy from Rotterdam. With him Houwitser entered the Excess studio in the summer of 2001 to record the third album "Rage inside the womb". The album got good reviews in the magazines worldwide and Houwitser have done a European tour in the summer of 2002. After the release of Houwitser last "Damage assessement" the band split up. In 2004 Displeased Records rereleased the debut album "Death but not buried with 7 bonus tracks and complete new artwork But the split up left a bad vibe with Michel and Stan. They decided Houwitser had to rise up from the ashes. Soon they found a second guitarist, Richard Gielen. Unfortunately Theo didn't have the time to join Houwitser again but another bassplayer was found quickly in Ramon Ploeg. The difficult part was finding the right drummer, but they did find the perfect Houwitser drummer, Marco de Groot, who played in other well-known dutch metalbands like Altar, Ordo Draconis and Blind Justice. Now the mighty Terror legion is back to strike again! Soon they will march the stages again to ripp off your ears with their thundering death metal. So watch out for Houwitser! The Terror Legion is heavier and more brutal than ever! Stay tuned for the Trip of Fire ! |

голландцы, в особом представлении не нуждающиеся, после небольшого затишья снова в деле...
мне на самом деле более всего нравится их дибютник и второй альбом (вокалист там отменный, лучший что был у них, имхо), остальные два в гораздо меньшей степени...
давайте хвалить и ругать сабж, благо есть за что
