Witchery

In 1998 they released their debut album, "Restless and Dead", through Necropolis Records and same year they recorded the EP "Witchburner" which contained some cover songs. 

In 1999 they then released the EP along with their second album "Dead, Hot and Ready" which was a succes. The band then embarked on various tours and in 2001 Mique left the band and was replaced by Martin Axe. In 2001 they released "Symphony for the Devil".

Gehenna



Gehenna was formed in Norway in January 1993 as a nameless project by Sanrabb (guitar, vocals), Dolgar (guitar, vocals) and Sir Vereda (drums). They didn't give the band a name until they had enough material which would represent their voice. In May of the same year, the trio entered the studio to record the demo "Black Seared Heart". It was recorded in Soundsuite Studios, released 1993 and limited to 100 copies. Two tracks from the demo were taken and released on a 7", "Ancestors of the Darkly Sky", and released by Dutch Necromantic Gallery Productions same year. Shortly after the releases Sir Verada ended up in prison and the band had to look for a new drummer. They found Dirge Rep and also a new bass player by the name Svartalv.

Enslaved


Formed: June 1991, Haugesund, Norway.

Progressive black metal band formed by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson. Enslaved are typically identified as viking metal. Their current sound (although characteristic of black metal) is very much influenced by the British progressive rock bands of the 1970s.

Naglfar


Black metal band from Umeå, Sweden, founded in 1992.

Naglfar was formed by Jens Rydén (vocals, guitar) and Kristoffer Olivius (bass), and originally they were called Uninterred. The two were soon joined by Ulf Andersson (drums) from Nocturnal Rites. As Jens Rydén wanted to focus on vocals only, guitarists Morgan Hansson and Fredrik Degerström also joined the band. However, Fredrik Degerström was asked leave because of different personal and musical opinions. He was replaced by Andreas Nilsson and then the band changed name to Naglfar.
