About

NSBM / pagan metal band formed in Poland in 1993 by Bard Neur (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and Komes Lupul Kurhan (drums). A third member, Witcher, joined soon after but left before being able to record anything significant with the group. The first demo, "Przebudzić ze snu", was recorded the following year but never released to the public due to its horrible production. The second demo, 1995's "Pusty wieczór" also featured co-operation with session member Krut (guitar). Another demo, "'Oblicza prawd zdradzonych dla krzyza", appeared the following year but it was soon followed by the band's first official studio demo, "Welowie", released by Old Legend Productions. The band's first planned-out full-length album ("Welowie" was originally a session demo titled "Na pohybel chrześcijaństwu"), "Krew naszych ojców", was eventually released in 2002. After a 10-year silence following the 2008 album "Arystokracja ducha," the band picked up activity again in 2018 with the new release "Ignipoten".
