Bonded

An uncompromising German metal group featuring former members of Sodom, Bonded emerged in 2019 with a sound rooted in neck-snapping traditional thrash and pummeling groove metal. Comprised of ex-Sodom members Bernd Kost (guitar) and Markus Freiwald (drums), second guitarist Chris Tsitsis (ex-Suicidal Angels), bassist Marc Hauschild, and vocalist Ingo Bajonczak (Assassin), the band issued their critically acclaimed debut album, Rest in Violence, through Century Media in 2020. The like-minded Into Blackness, which like its predecessor was produced by Cornelius Rambadt, appeared in 2021.
