Hand Of Death formed in June 2006 after becoming disillusioned with the local scene and bonding over a mutual desire to create music with the simple philosophy of passion, aggression and emotion. They take inspiration from a wide range of styles, with each member adding their own unique influence. In April 2007, They embarked on their first tour with Residual Effect, RSJ and I Remain, released their first cd "We Only Kill Each Other", and subsequently parted ways with the bassist of the band. They made the decision not to seek a replacement, and have continued as a 4 piece ever since. Previously known to have played shows with with awesome bands such as Go It Alone, Yacopsae, Magrudergrind, Staathaat and Cathode. "Hand Of Death represents many things. A hand can be used to give a loving caress, to help someone in times of need or distress, or to strike them down with deadly force. We are blessed with these gifts; it is up to us how we choose to use them. " <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Hand+Of+Death">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
