HROB was founded by Michal (guitar, vocals) and Kiko (guitar) in November 2021, as a side project to their band Krudus. Less than a year later, drummer Narran and bassist Ivana joined the band, but this lineup would only last about six months. After the departure of those two members, Matej (also drums in Krudus) joined the band, followed by Vrana (bass, also Radiation, ex-Goatcraft). With this solid lineup, the band recorded a self-titled demo in June 2023, which was released on tape format under Vrana’s label, namely Atomic Vision Productions. The first gig took place in August 2023 in Bratislava (at the legendary spot/garages under the Port Bridge) and since then the band has played several gigs in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria and Germany, sharing the stage with bands such as Morbific, Fessus, Beton, Abortion, Cancer Void, Perversity, Sedem Minút Strachu, Teratoma, Kaosquad, Night Hag, Cryptic Brood and Claustrum. In October 2024, the song “Hrob” was featured on the compilation tape titled “New Wave of Old School Death Metal”, released under the Rotting Racoon Records banner.

HROB’s music of choice is a putrid Death/Doom Metal abomination that evokes a sense of dread, shifting between slow and brooding passages soaked in heaviness, and aggressive and pummelling blasting parts with grinding drums and tremolo-picked riffs that reeks like a dank and moisty crypt forlorn in time. Augmented by low and gravelly vocals that only add up to the horror, HROB’s suffocating filth comes absolutely recommended to fans of both Death/Doom Metal and rotting Death Metal that celebrate what the genre was all about in the early/mid 90’s.

FFO: Excarnated Entity, Spectral Voice, Phobophilic, Mortiferum, Sedimentum
