Biography
Classic death metal drenched in gory lyrics was the basic premise behind the Ravenous -- and no wonder, considering this supergroup featured vocalist Killjoy (Necrophagia, Viking Crown), bassist Dan Lilker (Anthrax, Brutal Truth, Nuclear Assault, S.O.D.), and Autopsy/Abscess alums drummer Chris Reifert and guitarists Danny Coralles and Clint Bower. Formed in 1999, the group recorded a single album entitled Assembled in Blasphemy for Hammerheart Records in 2000. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, RoviRandom House Word Menu:

Ravenous is a synthpop band from Germany. Formed in 1995, it is the first of many projects by Gerrit Thomas, who is more well known for his industrial band Funker Vogt. The music is very different from Funker Vogt, however, relying more on synthpop and clean vocals, although it is not meant to be pure synthpop like Thomas's other project Fictional.
