Artist
Gasbrand is a raw, atmospheric black metal duo from Germany, originally formed in 2018 in the Franconia region (with sources noting ties to Coburg in Bavaria or Marburg in Hesse). The band name translates to "gas gangrene" in German, referring to a severe bacterial infection (Clostridium perfringens), evoking themes of decay, infection, and morbidity that align with their lyrical focus on war, death, chaos, and despair. Initially a project led by Azaziel (vocals, guitars, bass, artworks), the debut release Of Death and Despair (2020) featured session or early drumming contributions (listed in some reviews as Hropter). By autumn 2020, F.N. joined permanently on drums, solidifying the current two-man lineup. Their sound draws from second-wave black metal influences, blending cold, unforgiving riffs with melodic passages, occasional groovy or mid-tempo sections, raw production, and atmospheric elements—sometimes veering into depressive or nature-inspired black metal vibes without being overly polished.
