GOSPEL OF THE HORNS Calls It Quits

October 13, 2008

Guitarist Mark Howitzer of Australia's long-running blackened death/thrash outfit GOSPEL OF THE HORNS, has issued the following statement:

"After 16 years of beer sweat and hell, I have decided to bring GOSPEL OF THE HORNS to an end. We would like to thank the many friends we have made around the world during our journey…..and hail to Darragh from Invictus for his unending support. He has given GOSPEL every opportunity to drive our thrashing mayhem out to all. The time is right to move on to new horizons, and we are content in knowing that we have given everything we had in our arsenal. Our final show will be on the 7th December 2008 with GRAVE in our hometown of Melbourne. This show will be one hell of a mighty occasion!"

GOSPEL OF THE HORNS' second full-length album, "Realm of the Damned", was released last year via Invictus Productions.

GOSPEL OF THE HORNS previously split in 1996 but reformed a year later.
