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. By 2003 the band was joined by another underground doom legend, 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. Another noted doom personality joined the band some time later, in the person of Revelation guitarist Dennis Cornelius (here playing bass). Griffin announced the breakup of the band in January 2005 (reasons not given, though the members living in different areas had caused logistical problems in the past), but had a change of heart a couple of months later.
