A virtual history by John Bentley
Band Name: Totenwitz
Translation: Buried Head First
Album Title: Decomposed
Over the last year or so the 3 members of Totenwitz decided to write and record a Heavy Metal Album. Because of the Pandemic we did this by swapping music files over the internet. Each musician has his own studio built into his house. Ironically we have never actually met each other! Which is probably just as well. Our debut album ‘Decomposed’ is available here.

Inspiration…
The album kicked off when Bill sent me a French newspaper article about a Village in the Alps Maritimes that had suffered from a flood. The Village graveyard was destroyed and the inhabitants watched in horror as their relatives were swept away in the torrent.
The article inspired me to compose the song Decomposed, which led to our virtual collaboration.
