Hellish Crossfire, a Bavarian death and thrash metal band from Nuremberg, was formed in 2002 by drummer Thomas "Iron Tyrant" Werner, bassist Sick, guitarist Christian "Iron Incubus" Wachter, and singer "The Bone" Heinrich. In February 2003, Sänger Patrick Kremer replaced Heinrich as the vocalist. However, Kremer left the band to join Witchburner, leading Werner to take over vocal duties while Patrick "Evil Possessor" Tauch joined as the new drummer. In 2005, Hellish Crossfire recorded their debut album Slaves of the Burning Pentagram, which was released by I Hate Records in 2006 after some delays. The band's subsequent releases include a split with Violent Attack in 2008 and the album Bloodrust Scythe in 2010, both under I Hate Records. Hellish Crossfire is known for its blend of thrash and death metal.
