Band/artist history
As a result of their Heavy Metal addiction from the glorious eighties drummer Jort Visser and bass player Wilco v/d Meij founded the HEAVY METAL band METHUSALEM in the end of 2000. Under influence of bands like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Helloween they began their mission: Bring you the bible of Steel! The ironclad pigeon does its work and soon guitarist Dennis Hoekstra joins the band. From the first moment its crystal clear, stunning playing Dennis is an indispensable element of Methusalem! After working with a couple of guitarists, the band finds in Dirk Jan Veenstra their second guitar player. This Veenstar not only accomplishes his task as guitarist more than well but also shows to be an excellent songwriter! Because of the fact that you can find a grunter on every corner of the street, but no Dickinson or Kiske and under their motto who grunts is a dunce, Hoekstra takes care of the vocals. The band is now ready to rock and in the end of 2003 they record their first promo. National and international the promo is welcomed well and gets very good critics such as, Easily the best demo I have heard in the past 10 years and Here is a group of folks who honour the past and bring a heavy dose of NWOBHM styled metal to the forefront in 2004! Fans of traditional metal will eat this up!. When METHUSALEM finds their vocalist in Harold de Vries in 2004, the band is now complete. This di Anno is able to break windows and the band is unstoppable! Under guidance of producer Nico Outhuijse (Spanner / De Kast) the band records their MCD Senteced to Rock. With titles as The Heaviest of Metal, Armed With Axes and Heavy Metal Gods METHUSALEM shows HEAVY METAL is still alive!!! SHARE OUR METAL ADDICTION!!!
