NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Melodic Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Taiwan (Taipei)
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: Taiwanese Myths and Legends
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2011

ChthoniC’s melodies can be characterized as extreme metal with a central inspiration and folklore coming from the black metal movement. ChthoniC uses the traditional Chinese stringed instrument, Er- hu, which can be compared to an eastern violin. The sound of the Er-hu is one of grief and sorrow, which ChthoniC accompanies with heavy drums, guitar strings blending into a harmony.

Ov Hell - The Underworld Regime


NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Norway
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: Satanism, Darkness, Evil
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2011

Ov Hell was formed by King ov Hell (Gorgoroth ex-bass)and Shagrath following the dissolution of God Seed in July 2009. God Seed was formed by King and Gaahl in March that year, following the conclusion of the Gorgoroth name dispute which had started in October 2007. God Seed performed at the two festivals Hellfest Summer Open Air and With Full Force in summer 2009, covering songs from the Gorgoroth albums Twilight of the Idols and Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam. During this period of activity Gaahl was expected to write lyrics and record vocals for the band's intended debut album, for which at numerous times he was claimed to have been undertaking. The rest of the album had already been recorded in 2008, with Frost on drums, Teloch and Ice Dale on guitars and King on bass. However, citing lack of enthusiasm Gaahl quit God Seed at the With Full Force festival and ultimately retired from metal music. King then reincorporated the music which was intended for the God Seed debut album into Ov Hell, and Shagrath wrote and recorded the lyrics and vocals. The album, called The Underworld Regime, was released in Europe in February 2010 by Indie Recordings, and in the US in April 2010 by Prosthetic Records.

Present situation

Ov Hell has never performed live. In November 2009, King said that he expected the band to be able to do tours and festivals in the future, but in May 2010 he revealed that because of both his own and Shagrath's busy schedules, Ov Hell would not be doing any concerts, and that the band would instead just be a studio band.

Gaahl definitely quit from metal scene after declaring being homosexual.

Aaskereia is a German pagan black metal band formed in 1997. Musically, Aaskereia focuses on the melodic sound of their guitars very much. The vocals range from clear singing passages to some sort of howling. The band’s lyrics mostly focus on death, battles that are fought, dark and tragic romance, or the woods and everything that is inside them or happening inside them.

Aaskereia is sometimes accused of being national socialistic, but their website states that they dissociate themselves from any political ideology.
