The Profile

Hollenthon is an Austrian band blending symphonic and melodic death metal with orchestral and choral elements. Led by Martin Schirenc, with drums by Mike Groeger, they released Domus Mundi (1999), With Vilest of Worms to Dwell, and the darker, bombastic Opus Magnum (2008), plus the EP Tyrants and Wraiths.

Austrian origin; name taken from a village; led by Martin Schirenc (handling all instruments except drums per review), with drummer Mike Groeger. Hallmarks include brass, choirs, female vocals, and occasional classical reworkings. Notable releases span 1999–2009, including a 2003 live set and a 2009 EP.

Two reviews dig into Hollenthon’s symphonic death metal: cinematic orchestration, brass, choirs, and a blend of growls with occasional clean and female vocals. With Vilest of Worms to Dwell is praised for genre-blending and bold brass. Opus Magnum is darker, more bombastic, and immersive, though less varied than its predecessor. Overall verdict: a great, underrated Austrian band delivering epic, complex metal.
