A Norwegian black metal band formed in 1997, known for tremolo picking, blast beats, and grim atmospheres.
For their core sound, 'Evil Oath' and 'Deeper Still' are pretty much the blueprint. If you want to hear where they've taken it, 'Aiwass Aeon' from 'Demonoir' shows that darker, evolved side.
They've been a steady presence in Norwegian black metal since the late '90s, with songs like 'Deeper Still' built around that signature tremolo and blast beat attack. Their lyrics dig into occult themes, and they've kept that grim atmosphere even as they've folded in some death metal and industrial touches on records like 'Demonoir'.
They started in Oslo in 1997 with Ravn on vocals and Frost on drums, putting out their debut 'Liberation' in 2003. Over the years, they've stuck to their black metal roots while letting in other elements, and Tony Laureano now handles the drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
