New album, “After The Kill”, out on November 12th!
GAUNTLET RULE was formed in 2019 by guitarist Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Massacre) and bassist Peter Svensson (Assassin’s Blade, Void Moon) with the intent of creating timeless Heavy Metal. The line-up was completed by vocalist Teddy Möller (Loch Vostok).
Despite of, or maybe because of, the style of GAUNTLET RULE being a huge departure from the styles of Johansson’s and Möller’s main bands, the band manages to create an original sounding record yet maintain all the trademarks of classic Metal. Following the release of the band’s first album, “The Plague Court” (Target Rec.) in 2022, Kjetil Lynghaug and Marcus Rosenkvist joined the band on lead guitar and drums respectively. Lyrical themes include horror stories, war, internal struggles and supernatural concepts; sometimes several of the themes in one song.
The cover art for “After the Kill” was done by Juan Felipe More Ibáñez and the recording features two guest vocalists such as Jacques Bélanger (Assassin’s Blade/ex-Exciter) on “Bite the Hand That Feels” and Federica De Boni (White Skull) on “After the Kill” as lead vocals on each track.
