PROTECTOR - Golem

Info

IMMORTAL GOLEMS OF THRASH METAL!!! They are here again!!! A band of total thrash maniacs, formed in 1986, PROTECTOR!!! You all know them without a doubt and their records adorn your record collections. From classics like "Golem" or "Urm the Mad" to the last released track "Excessive Outburst of Depravity", this foursome is driving the supercharged thrashing deaths with a huge rage and if PROTECTOR were a little bit lucky in their start, we could have a teutonic quintet of European thrash today!!!


PROTECTOR, however, still swear by the old school sound and methods and that makes them the very "true" metalheads and that's exactly this true thrashing carnage we will see on the Obscene Extreme boards!!! Homunculi are coming for us...


Bio

Protector was formed in Wolfsburg/Germany in the summer of 1986 by Michael Hasse (v/dr), Hansi Müller (g) and Michael Schnabel (b). Later that year the band recorded and released their first demo.


In the fall of 1987 the band, now with Martin Missy (v) and Ede Belichmeier (who had replaced Michael Schnabel) in the lineup, released the EP "Misanthropy". In the same year Protector also played their first gigs. On the 26th of february 1994, almost seven years, one EP, four LPs, four tours and a couple of lineup-changes after the release of "Misanthropy", Protector played their last gig (in Wolfsburg) in the formation Olly Wiebel (v/g), Matze Grün (b) and Marco Pape(dr).


During the years 1996-2003 Protector was kept alive by drummer Marco Pape. The band recorded one demo in 1999, and in the years following their third gig together in 2001, the band fell apart bit by bit.


In 2006 the Protector tribute band ”Martin Missy and The Protectors” was formed in Sweden by Martin Missy, Carl-Gustav Karlsson (dr), Mathias Johansson (b) and Michael Carlsson (g). They played twentyfour gigs together between 2006 and 2011.


In october 2011 "Martin Missy and The Protectors" announced that they officially would continue under the name Protector. Since then, the band has released one demo and four LPs (the latter four on High Roller Records) and has played many club and festival gigs in Europe.
