The brooding, dark occult inspired Valentine comes from the frigid north of Greenland, leaning heavily on ancient lore, witches and other mysterious tales. Featuring multi-cultural talent they lean heavily on their influences such as Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Cathedral with a flair for the dramatic ala Alice Cooper.

​

There music skews toward doom and gloom with underlying occult themes and subject matter. Valentine combines a mix of fantasy with an air of dread or foreboding danger just lurking around the corner.

Creation: I love Black Sabbath and I love Ozzy Osbourne, I sincerely do... and since starting this journey I have always wanted to master that dreary, bass heavy doom metal sound. Valentine is the closest I have come to achieving that, in both tone and lyrical content.

​

There were a few names floating around once I had the concept fully realized, but I settled on Valentine simple as a homage to one of my favorite old-school pro wrestlers, Greg "the Hammer" Valentine.
