Marcel Gast
I’m Marcel and I’m a metal musician from Germany. I write and produce my own tracks. Feel free to check out my current projects and my Blog below!
This blog is my outlet to share the wins, the setbacks, and the raw reality of making heavy music. If you’re into riffs, gear, recording, and the struggle behind the sound — welcome.

Xerador
Xerador brings crushing riffs, pounding grooves, and raw energy straight from the underground.
We blend old-school aggression with modern heaviness—no gimmicks, just pure metal.
If you’re into groove that hits like a freight train, Xerador is your new soundtrack.

Frostfire Wings
Frostfire Wings is my outlet for everything beyond the boundaries.
Here, we fuse metal with whatever sound feels right—melodic, experimental, cinematic, chaotic.
No rules, no limits—just pure expression through heavy music.

Katalyst
Katalyst is my solo project—raw, relentless, and 100% me.
Every riff, every scream, every layer is crafted by hand, forged in isolation.
This is extreme metal stripped to its core: no compromise, no collaboration—just pure expression.
