Morgawr

Formed in late 2007 by Alexander Wyld and Sebb Garner, their aim: to create original sounding 'pagan' metal. Under the name of Aesir, the band played gigs throughout England and Cornwall, and even recorded a bathory cover for a belgium bathory tribute CD. But after several necessary lineup changes, a new musical direction was sought, and so the band decided to make a fresh start; Morgawr was born. The Cornish word for sea serpent; Morgawr The new aim; to delve deep into Cornish and Celtic mythology and to fuse it with black, folk, power and progressive metal.

Ereb Altor

This epic metal band was formed in the early 90's by the sole two members still making up Ereb Altor. Growing up having Bathory's epic era in our hearts it was inevitable that the music we created somehow was going to be influenced by our house gods. Having Bathory's music as a foundation we created our own branch of this so called "epic viking metal" genre. Lyric-wise the topics differed slightly.

Obtest

OBTEST has started in late days of 1992, inspired by the then new and challenging Black Metal explosion, particularly in Scandinavia. Bands like Enslaved, Grand Belial's Key, Mayhem, and Darkthrone had a huge inspirational effect on the youngsters. However, the fascination of the music they have been initially involved into Metal and growing up with [Manowar, AC/DC, Death, Grave] has never faded away, and that’s perhaps the explanation of the evolution OBTEST music has gone through years.
