Der Gerwelt Biography
Russian trio Der Gerwelt consist of vocalist Alex Duke, double-shift-pulling guitarist/bassist Lazar, and drummer Yanarrdakh. Rather hard to categorize, they perform in a hybrid style of speedy black metal mixed with desolate strains of death/doom Hence, the band's debut album Human Breed sounded not unlike Mayhem jamming with Katatonia. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
