Gollum is an innovative, progressive metal band from Wilmington, North Carolina, founded in 1998 by guitarist Frank Stroehmer
and his brother, bassist Serge Stroehmer. The siblings recruited drummer Seth Long and vocalist Shawn Corbett. Their style of
music is somewhat difficult to categorize as the Cape Fear area boys have developed a sound of their own. The tunes are oddly
structured with a snarling vocal approach with mysterious lyrics…but they somehow draw the listener in with an ominous curiosity
to see their next move. They use no hooks or choruses, just loud, hard-ass guitars with intriguing aggressive progressions with a
pure metal tone. The 2009 release of The Core was highlighted by guest vocal appearances by Bloodlet and Suicide & Hope Scott
Angelacos,
Dave “Dixie” Collins of the legendary Weedeater, and Randy Blythe with Lamb of God. The album landed Gollum a
spot at the 2009 Mayhem Music Festival, which was received with high critical acclaim.
Go check ‘em out at or catch them on
stage at The Soapbox in Wilmington on October 2 opening for SkeletonWitch.
