Them
Taking their moniker from Danish heavy metal legend King Diamond's third studio album, Them is a theatrical horror- and fantasy-themed collective rooted in the twin sonic threats of thrash and power metal. Originating in 2008 as a King Diamond tribute act, the band eventually transitioned into original material and released their debut album, the conceptual Sweet Hollow, in 2016.
Manor of the Se7en GablesComprised of vocalist Klaus König Fossor, guitarists Markus Ullrich and Markus Johansson, keyboardist Richard Seibel, bassist Alex Palma, and drummer Angel Cotte, the German-American group began life as Them – The King Diamond Tribute in 2008. In 2011, frontman Fossor began exploring the idea of turning Them into an original act, resulting in the release of the ambitious Sweet Hollow, the opening volume in a planned trilogy. Shortly thereafter, they served as the opening act on the North American leg of Helloween's 2016 tour, and two years later, Them issued their opulent sophomore long-player, Manor of the Se7en Gables, their first outing for Steamhammer Records/SPV. The band completed the trilogy in 2020 with the arrival of the hard-hitting Return to Hemmersmoor.
