black metal

At first, there was nothing but these memories of a cold and grey urbanism. It is meanwhile walking down the streets of Kemper, France, that netra was first thought of, back in 2003. Nothing else could convey these horrible feelings, this underlying depression and boredom of city life. Seven years and two demos later, netra raises the interest of Nick Skog, owner of the canadian label Hypnotic Dirge Records...

Christ Agony is a Polish black metal band formed in 1990 in Olsztyn, Poland, by Cezary "Cezar" Augustynowicz (vocals & guitar), ?urek (drums), and Ash (bass & vocals). After the second album the line-up changed frequently between recordings. The band dissolved in 2003 due to a conflict with a record label, and released one album under the name Union. In 2007, the band reformed. Discography: 1993 - Unholyunion (Act I)
1994 - Daemoonseth (Act II)
1996 - Moonlight (Act III)
1997 - Darkside
1998 - Trilogy

Keep of Kalessin spawned back in 1994, under the name Ildskjaer, by the hand of Ghash and Obsidian C., later joined by Vyl and Warach. The band´s violent yet dark and epic black metal - as well as the somewhat mysterious monicker and lyrics - are inspired by the work of American fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin's The Earthsea Quartet. With this concept in mind, the guys recorded the first demo Skygger av Sorg in the Fall of 1996, though several problems in finding a proper rehearsal room made this task rather difficult.

There is more than one Black Death: 1. The all-black US heavy metal band from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in 1977. 2. The earliest incarnation of Darkthrone, who recorded two demos as a trio in 1987. 3. A recent black/thrash metal duo from El Sobrante, California.
