Taake - Noregs Vaapen

http://www.metal-archives.com/images/3/7/0/370_logo.jpg

NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Norway
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: Darkness, Death, Autumn, Winter...
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2011

Hoest is the creative force of the band; vocals & all instruments.

The band was formerly known as Thule (1993-1995); Høst then changed the name to Taake (the Norwegian word for "fog") in 1995 because he wanted the name to reflect the genuine Norwegian spirit of his music and lyrics. It is also a patriotic tribute to the fog that surrounds the seven mountains at his hometown Bergen. "Høst" itself means "Autumn" in Norwegian, referred to Høst's season of birth.

Vendigeit is a project mentioned by Høst in interviews, about which very little is known.

Høst was imprisoned in 2006 for unknown reasons. His label Dark Essence Records reported that the prison sentence was only a few months.C. Corax (guitars on Doedskvad and Bjoergvin) has also been imprisoned, though for a longer prison sentence.

There is a reason why Høst prefers his name spelled with an "oe" and not an "ø". It is because he does not want to use the three letters æ,ø, and å. This is a part of the whole Taake package.

Birth Dates:
Ørjan "Ulvhedin Høst" Stedjeberg (24th September 1977)

ChthoniC’s melodies can be characterized as extreme metal with a central inspiration and folklore coming from the black metal movement.

The sound of the Er-hu is one of grief and sorrow, which ChthoniC accompanies with heavy drums, guitar strings blending into a harmony.

Ov Hell - The Underworld Regime


NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Norway
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: Satanism, Darkness, Evil
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2011

Ov Hell was formed by King ov Hell (Gorgoroth ex-bass)and Shagrath following the dissolution of God Seed in July 2009. God Seed was formed by King and Gaahl in March that year, following the conclusion of the Gorgoroth name dispute which had started in October 2007. God Seed performed at the two festivals Hellfest Summer Open Air and With Full Force in summer 2009, covering songs from the Gorgoroth albums Twilight of the Idols and Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam. During this period of activity Gaahl was expected to write lyrics and record vocals for the band's intended debut album, for which at numerous times he was claimed to have been undertaking. The rest of the album had already been recorded in 2008, with Frost on drums, Teloch and Ice Dale on guitars and King on bass. However, citing lack of enthusiasm Gaahl quit God Seed at the With Full Force festival and ultimately retired from metal music. King then reincorporated the music which was intended for the God Seed debut album into Ov Hell, and Shagrath wrote and recorded the lyrics and vocals. The album, called The Underworld Regime, was released in Europe in February 2010 by Indie Recordings, and in the US in April 2010 by Prosthetic Records.

Present situation

Ov Hell has never performed live. In November 2009, King said that he expected the band to be able to do tours and festivals in the future, but in May 2010 he revealed that because of both his own and Shagrath's busy schedules, Ov Hell would not be doing any concerts, and that the band would instead just be a studio band.

Gaahl definitely quit from metal scene after declaring being homosexual.

Aaskereia is a German pagan black metal band formed in 1997. Musically, Aaskereia focuses on the melodic sound of their guitars very much. The vocals range from clear singing passages to some sort of howling. The band’s lyrics mostly focus on death, battles that are fought, dark and tragic romance, or the woods and everything that is inside them or happening inside them.

Aaskereia is sometimes accused of being national socialistic, but their website states that they dissociate themselves from any political ideology.

Sabaton was formed back in 1999 in Falun, Sweden and worked hard with demos and small club shows just like any other band. An album was recorded in 2002 bearing the name of Fist for Fight on an independent label in Italy, but was never released. By 2004, the band was becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of marketing opportunities available for their album, so eventually they decided that their best strategy would be start over with new material.

Demonaz - March of the Norse


NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Viking / Heavy / Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Norway
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: North, battles, mountains, landscapes
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2011

Recommended
Former guitarist for Immortal, now its lyricist/manager. Also involved in other projects such as I (lyricist for Between Two Worlds) and Perfect Visions (vocalist).

Harald Nævdal, born 6 July 1970, known as Demonaz Doom Occulta, or most widely known simply as Demonaz, is most recognized as the once-guitarist and chief lyricist for the Norwegian black metal band Immortal.

In Immortal, he is known for his lyrics which, unconventionally for black metal, focus on icy landscapes and a fictional land called Blashyrkh. The story of Blashyrkh is gradually told throughout Immortal’s albums. When writing lyrics he often takes long walks in the Norwegian countryside near his hometown of Bergen for inspiration. He was known for his simplistic but extremely fast guitar parts which were always based around power chords. With Abbath, he formed the core of Immortal until 1997, with members fluctuating otherwise and little stability until Horgh joined the band in 1997.

Demonaz played guitar on the albums Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism, Pure Holocaust and Battles in the North, with his last musical contribution to Immortal being the 1997 album Blizzard Beasts. That same year, he was diagnosed with acute tendinopathy, and could no longer play guitar at the speed required for Immortal.
