Place of Skulls is a doom metal band from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Biography

Place of Skulls was formed in 2000 by ex-Pentagram guitarist Victor Griffin. The name is a biblical reference to Golgotha. The band put out their debut album, "Nailed", on Southern Lord Records in 2002. Many of these songs deal with Griffin's new found faith in Christianity. Four songs from the "Nailed" session were explicitly Christian and for this reason did not appear on the album. These were released as the "Love Through Blood" EP in 2005. Scott "Wino" Weinrich joined the band for their second album, "With Vision". This album was released by Southern Lord Records in 2003. Shortly after, Wino left the band to concentrate on The Hidden Hand. In 2006 the band signed to Germany's Exile on Mainstream Records and released their most recent album, "The Black Is Never Far".
