Ost

Ost is the guitar player of HAEMATOM. The German metal band formed in 2004 developed their style from Neue Deutsche Härte. The concept of Haematom is based on forming a unity between musical and visual elements, leading to the idea of naming the band members after the four cardinal directions and incorporating intricately designed masks. In the early years their German lyrics were influenced by European fables, which in time and with the progression of the band transitioned to themes based on societal, religious and socio-critical issues.
