About the Artist
Formed in 1994, this short-lived collaboration featuring Samoth (Emperor), Ihsahn (Emperor), Frost (Satyricon/1349) and Draug Aldrahn (Old Man's Child/Dodheimsgard)resulted in only one recording. Blood Must Be Shed was quickly recorded and nearly immediately sold out its initial pressing. For many the band was shrouded in controversy; the band's name selection causing much of a stir though from the get-go members clearly noted the band was not political or racially leaning. The band's line up also finding much curiousity for the time-line found it at the high of black metal's international rise and noted (and limited)crime-spree.
