We are TRAITOR, a Thrash Metal Band from Balingen / Baden Württemberg in Germany. We founded the band in the year of 2004 with the name PATRICIDE. The First Demos were recorded, and the first shows were played under the name PREMATURE BURIAL until we changed our name again, and finally into TRAITOR in the year of 2009. In the years since 2004 there were many line-up changes excepting the two founding members Gerd Hery and Andreas Mozer. Since 2009 the line is constantly:

Andreas Mozer – Drums, Main Vocals

Gerd Hery – Guitars, Background Vocals

Lorenz Kandolf – Bass

Matthias Koch - Guitars

We made it to our mission to remember our listeners to the trademarks of the 80´s especially in times of faster, more brutal and more individual music like we have it nowadays. It´s our goal to let the spirit of the 80´s rise up again! We spiced this old spirit with new and fresh ideas and present our listeners in our concerts, Thrash Metal in the style of the 80´s.
