Ostrogoth

Biography

Ostrogoth is a Belgian heavy metal band, formed in 1980 in Ghent.
The group is influenced by other successful European metal bands such as Scorpions and Accept. After an EP and two albums, Full Moon's Eyes, Ecstasy and Danger and Too Hot, the band went through a major line-up change for 1987's Feelings of Fury, following which the band disbanded.
Over these years, they supported, amongst others, Def Leppard, Manowar, Vandenberg, Loudness, Uriah Heep and Gary Moore.
In 2002, Ostrogoth reunited for a string of Belgian shows featuring both Marc 'Red Star' De Brauwer and Peter De Wint on vocals, each representing the material of their time with the band. In 2010, Ostrogoth briefly reunited with singer Marc De Brauwer, who was replaced by Josey Hindrix. Several years later, the band started working on new material and recorded the EP, Last Tribe Standing, which was released in 2015. Another major line-up change occurred in 2018.
