History
Initially, the band began its activities in the format of a trio - Jens (vocals / guitar), Roland - bass guitar and Valkyr, aka Renod - drums. The first work of the group was released in December of the same 1992 year and was a demo called The Dark Throne , consisting of 3 songs recorded in the same composition of 3 people - Jens, Roland and Renod.
Almost a year later, in November 1993 , the group, now already a quartet , released the second demo - The Calling , and another 2 years later, in 1995 - the single Holy Evil .
Over the next few years, the band was busy recording material for their first official studio album, March into the Arena , which was released in 2002 . The place of bassist Roland was taken by Driss Bulmedais, and Damien Kapolongo became the solo guitarist.
The next studio album was released a year later, in 2003 .
In 2008, the third studio album, with a big name Made in Hell , released by the Greek label Eat Metal Records , was released.
Also, in 2008, the group recorded and released a compilation of Curse of the Seven Seas , which included some songs from the album Made in Hell .
After leaving the group of guitarist Damien Capolongo in 2010, Alex Gilbert became the second guitarist, before that he had been playing bass in the group for 4 years. In this regard, Ricky Mannhard, a former member of French groups such as Altar and Mystery Blue, was taken on the role of bassist.
Between 2012 and 2014, the band's activity peaked and was characterized by intensive work in the studio and the release of 3 full-length studio albums - Army of the Damned (2012), The Fourth and Final Horseman (2013) and Cult of Steel (2014).
