Walter "Crom" Grosse's (ex-Dark Fortress) one-man-project official debut album "Vengeance" got euphoric reviews. After three years of waiting, the second album "Of Love and Death" is eventually ready to be released. Epic Heavy Metal with strong Pagan / Viking influences in vein of Bathoryis are still dominating the 8 tracks. But "Of Love and Death" got a way more melancholic spirit and leads the listener into a unique emotional world. Songs like "Lifetime" or the catchy "Just one blink" can be mentioned as examples. "My Destiny" is a remake of an older song, which appeared first on the ultra-rare demo of 2004. The same applies to the 2010 version of "The Fallen Beauty".
