Asgaroth the freezing winds of kiljaarn


Asgaroth was a black metal band from Barcelona, Spain formed in 1995. It started as a one man-project by Lord Lupus. Their international attention increased after their second album release, Red Shift, through Peaceville.

After working with Hell Awaits and Abstract Emotions for their previous productions, the band decided to send copies of the personal recordings for their Red Shift album to different record labels, including the independent record label Peaceville Records.

The British label was one of the first to respond positively to the recordings of the album and decided to sign the band for three editions. After the first 1,000 copies were sold, they went ahead and recorded a second edition to give the record a wider presentation.

For the summer of 2003, the band had already plans of making a new production, but the release dates for My Dying Bride and Katatonia new albums, scheduled preliminarily for June of the same year, caused a delay, so the record label decided to give the band more time to prepare another release. During that time, the band continued performing live in different shows and festivals with bands such as Cradle Of Filth.

Split-up

The official split-up occurred in 2007 after their tour with Type O Negative when the band posted on their Myspace page, in a way to say goodbye to their fans, a blog entry that they named "Farewell Asgaroth" in which they stated their decision of breaking up.
