Quorthon
The members of Quorthon changed over the years 1992-1995, but was originally founded in Hamilton in 1992 by Ben Thomas, Simon Saunders and Sean McGlynn.
Quorthon played extremely heavy and slow bowel rumbling metal inspired by a medical dictionary's description of constipation and it's ailments. Often found supporting Sinfeeder at seedy Hamilton venues or once on tour in Rotorua. File:Quorthon.jpg.jpg
Quorthon often played live wearing meat and bones around their necks and even played once at a vegetarian party, needless to say, that went down well. Their first gig was at The Club on Ulster Street in Hamilton, as part of a Hamilton Deathfest in 1992, along with such bands as Sinfeeder. Were interviewed for a New Zealand music program the same night backstage after the gig. That interiew, unfortunately, never saw the light of day.
