Inspired by the Japanese visual-kei scene and the brutality of Swedish hardcore and metal, Marionette has brought new light to the metal genre. Mixing elegance, darkness, power, aggression, and speed, Marionette’s debut album, Spite, hit the metal scene with the power of an atomic bomb in April 2008, receiving raving reviews from top hard rock and metal publications such as Kerrang!, Rock Hard, Metal Hammer, and Terrorizer Magazines. As the touring cycle for Spite begins, this Gothenburg sextet seeks nothing more than total domination and aural destruction.
