More Info
The band was formed in 1994 by Aldrahn (Thorns) & Vicotnik (Ved Buens Ende). The early incarnation was that of a raw & at often melodic black metal band, with their debut album also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass. In recent years, Dodheimsgard has become known for its eclectic musical ventures & poignant mood shifts, with a less chaotic, more considered approach compared to their earliest works. Following the 'Kronet til Konge' & 'Monumental Possession' opuses, there was a shift in direction as demonstrated on 1998's 'Satanic Art' EP & by Dødheimsgard's third album, '666 International', Vicotnik had taken over a lot of the writing duties, with DHG's style becoming more technical yet ferocious black metal, with strong experimental ideas & industrial elements. Vicotnik's riffs were inspired by cult bands such as Thorns & perfectly entwined with Aldrahn's delightfully twisted lyrics & immense vocals to create something truly unique. In its '666 International' incarnation, DHG (as they were later to be known) featured a line- up of well-respected Norwegian musicians including Czral (Aura Noir, Ved Buens Ends, Virus), Apollyon (Aura Noir, Immortal), plus Mr Magic Logic (Fleurety) on keyboards, as the album was constructed over a period of time. All in all, '666 International' is rightly regarded as a highly infuential masterpiece of avant-garde metal by many since its release in 1999.
