Place Of Skulls

Some eight years after his quiet departure from the mighty Pentagram, guitarist Victor Griffin emerged in 2002 with a new band, Place Of Skulls, reuniting with bassist Lee Abney, the pair having played together years earlier in Deathrow. Musically, the band delivered solid doom metal as one might expect, while lyrically the band focused on a more spiritual attitude due to Griffin's new beliefs. Soon the band was joined by none other than former The Obsessed guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich. Wino appeared on the Skulls' second album, With Vision, but departed to focus on his new band, The Hidden Hand. Later, yet another noted doom personality joined the band some time later, in the person of Revelation guitarist Dennis Cornelius (here playing bass). Following the release of 2010's As A Dog Returns, Griffin rejoined Pentagram for a time, and has more recently formed a new band, In-Graved.
