Biography Stronghold (Death Salvation)

After almost two years of silence Stronghold is back with a new album: Death Salvation, a brutal mix of melodic death- and thrash metal.

In 2007 Stronghold teamed up with sound engineer Harm Giezen to do some serious recording at various studios throughout the Netherlands. After finishing all the recordings Harm joined forces with Hans Pieters (Excess Studio) for mixing and mastering. The result of all this hard labour is Death Salvation, a typical Stronghold album: raw, heavy and catchy as hell!
