Them - Manor Of The Se7en Gables (2018) [Hi-Res]

The German-American band Them is one of the most remarkable and charismatic new metal outfits that Steamhammer/SPV have signed in recent years. The group’s masterminds are American vocalist KK Fossor (ex-Coldsteel) and German guitarist Markus Ullrich, co-founder of prog metal band Lanfear and member of speed/thrash metal act Septagon as well as instrumental project A Cosmic Trail. American Markus Johansson (Sylencer, 4ARM) is the second guitarist and the rhythm section features his two fellow-countrymen, bassist Mike Lepond (Symphony X, Ross The Boss) and drummer Angel Cotte (Demolition Hammer). The line-up is completed by German keyboardist Richie Seibel (Lanfear, Ivanhoe). Them’s style consists of gutsy power/thrash metal with distinctly American leanings. The release of their second album Manor Of The Se7en Gables has been announced for October 26 2018. Them were founded in summer 2007 by frontman KK Fossor and started out as a King Diamond tribute band. The arrival of guitarist Markus Ullrich in autumn 2013 marked a change in the group’s concept and a move towards their own material. Autumn 2016 saw the arrival of their debut album Sweet Hollow, accompanied by a tour through the US and Canada alongside Helloween.
