Place Of Skulls

Formed in early 2000 by guitarist/singer/songwriter Victor Griffin and bassist Lee Abney, and now with Pete Campbell replacing Tim Tomaselli on drums, Place of Skulls (a biblical reference to Golgotha) continues to carry the torch of prior Griffin and Abney bands such as Death Row and Pentagram in the ever-burgeoning underground scene of doom metal. But as their sound continues to expand beyond those boundaries... they incorporate intricate dynamics in their songs that few bands of the same genre explore... and lyrically reflect upon their spiritual beliefs, God, politics, and the search for peace. Having stepped outside the proverbial box of "doom metal".
Shortly after releasing "As a Dog Returns" in 2010, Victor rejoined Pentagram for a two-year album and tour stint. Upon departing Pentagram, he founded a new project, Victor Griffin's In~Graved.
