Crossholder

Founded on 10 April 2008, by János "Güzü" Gondosch, who had the idea from as far back as 1992. He wrote a 292-page novel, titled "Crossholder, In Captivity of Time", ("about Crossholder, who comes to the Middle Ages from the future and establishes the Knights Templar Order"), and formed the band as a musical and visual counterpart. They released one album, and toured in Thailand, Switzerland, Ukraine, Romania, Croatia, and Czech Republic. János, however, passed in 2014, and so their future is uncertain. At the time, he was working on a second story ark/novel and concept album, titled “Crossholder, Storm of Crises”. After his passing, the band members performed a special concert in memory of János. In addition to the songs on their album, Crossholder have released official videos for the songs "Illuminati" and "Crossholder Army". The latter features guest performances/appearances by Tim "Ripper" Owens and Tony "Thunder" Johannessen .
