  • Bio

    "Don't be uneasy, Lizaveta Prokofyevna. I'm not in a fit, and I'm just going. I know that I am... afflicted. I've been ill for twenty-four years, from my birth till I was twenty-four years old. You must take what I say as from a sick man now. I'm going directly - directly. You may be sure of that. I'm not ashamed; for it would be strange to be ashamed of that, wouldn't it? But I'm out of place in society... I'm not speaking from wounded vanity... I've been reflecting during these three days and I've made up my mind that I ought to explain things sincerely and honourably to you at the first opportunity. There are ideas, very great ideas, of which I ought not to begin to speak, because I should be sure to make every one laugh. Prince S. has warned me of that very thing just now... My gestures are unsuitable. I've no right sense of proportion. My words are incongruous, not befitting the subject, and that's a degradation for those ideas. And so I have no right... Besides, I'm morbidly sensitive... I am certain that no one would hurt my feelings in this house, and that I am more loved here than I deserve. But I know (I know for certain) that twenty years' illness must leave traces, so that it's impossible not to laugh at me... sometimes... It is so, isn't it?"(Dostoevsky) ......

        Greetings from Symbolizer (formerly Symbolic),

        We are happy to let you know that our long awaited debut album Thanatos Unleashed has been unleashed! Featuring eight hard hitting and melodic thrash metal compositions, the album has been released through Hellion Records in Germany.

        Reviews:

        "Excellent examples of ethereal and aggressive thrash metal, characterised by a hail of riffs and dynamic solos, sung by the fine voice of Rasmus Kiaer"
        metalbrigade .it, Italy

        "Singer and guitarist Rasmus has a great, raw, yet melodic voice, fitting perfectly with the songs that draw influences from bands like OVERKILL, ARTILLERY, MELIAH RAGE or XENTRIX and ONSLAUGHT. You will find some very touching compositions that are great to headbang to. Killer debut album!"
