Southwicked

The new band of Allen West (ex-Obituary, Six Feet Under). Biography Allen West and Marco Vreven on the Lowbrow 'Buried in Europe' Tour decided to start a new band, and a couple of months later they were working on some songs and recorded a demotape in the Red Room Studio's in Ybor City. Rock Rollain (Kult of Thorn) joined the forces and he placed some mighty fine Basslines on the songs. Days before the first gig, they asked Sven Poets from Shattered Skull (BE) to join the forces. He learned everything in 3 days and was accepted as a bandmember after a successful first show! In 2011 SouthWicked completed the recordings for the debut album "Death's Crown" and did their first European tour with Master, playing among other shows on Neurotic Deathfest, Europe's biggest indoor death metal festival. The band signed a deal with Abyss Records in 2011 and released their debut album in the summer of 2012.
