Finnish Heavy Metal entity Tyfon’s Doom has signed a deal with Cruz Del Sur Music subsidiary, Gates of Hell.

Tyfon’s Doom is a one-man band that brings to the table an obscure and unpolished style of traditional Heavy Metal. Tommi Varsala, the man behind this project, was able to capture the original spirit of Metal like only a few other bands in today’s scene. While influences such as Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate and early Metal Church are apparent, Tyfon’s Doom sounds incredibly fresh and personal.

With brilliant songwriting, great guitar work and gritty vocal style, Tyfon’s Doom will bring you back to a time when you were discovering amazing new bands by looking through the Metal LPs at your local record store.

More details about Tyfon’s Doom can be found on this interesting interview, featured on Norwegian’s Metal Squadron blog (posted HERE).

The debut EP from Tyfon’s Doom, Yeth Hound, will be released in late April/early May on limited compact disc and vinyl and will include the Demo ’15 as bonus tracks.

Yeth Hound is digitally available at: tyfonsdoom.bandcamp.com.

Gates of Hell Records is a sub-label of Cruz Del Sur Music and devoted to the old spirit of Heavy Metal, a particular aversion for fashion, trends and contamination.
