Notable Quotes

❝ You can recognize one by his really improbable hair, the other because he looks like he’s just come out of a concentration camp: they are keyboardist Bruno Kramm (also known in metal circles for collaborating with Morbid Angel and Atrocity) and singer Stefan Ackermann, a madman like few others.
