Harbinger

Originally released in 2009 by Chris Blacks Planet Metal label but only on CD, Doom on You would be the only full-length Lansing, Michigans HARBINGER would record. While a couple demos preceded it and a late-coming split 7" with Zwould be released in 2015, the band effectively broke up following the albums original release, and Doom on You would successively grown in stature as a gem of cult American metal.HARBINGER had its roots in a preceding band called Thwarter, which was admittedly "hugely influenced by Holy Terror, Sabbat, and Sadus." As Thwarter eventually transitioned into HARBINGER and the lineup began to solidify, their style shifted away from thrash-leaning to more classic heavy metal, influenced as much by NWOBHM mainstays as Satan, Avenger, Iron Maiden, Praying Mantis, and Tokyo Blade as well as the power metalled likes of Gotham City, Nocturnal Rites, and Jag Panzer. With the joining of bassist Doc, HARBINGER then recorded a whole albums worth of songs.
