Dodheimsgard Biography
A more traditional (read: raw, furious, and often unintelligible) Norwegian black metal band, Dodheimsgard featured guitarist/vocalist Aldrahn, bassist/backing vocalist Fenriz, and drummer Vicotnik in its original incarnation. (The band's name translates to something similar to "kingdom of death" or "world of specters.") 1995 saw the release of the band's debut album, Kronet Til Konge, after which Fenriz departed; former Aura Noir member Apollyon and ex-Emperor bassist Alver joined up for the band's second release, Monumental Possession. Both albums were originally recorded for Malicious and were reissued in the U.S. in 1999 by Century Media. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
