Draugnim - Horizons Low




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Pagan Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: Finland (Espoo)
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Lyrics: Nature
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2010

The story began 1999, when Morior and Chimedra joined forces to bring light to the stories of old pagan past with strong melodies and raw expression, emphasizing on mood rather than technical boasting. Three demos were recorded between 2000 and 2003 with the band developing an original sound during the years. After 2003, the drummer and the keyboardist left the band causing a temporary standstill. Finally in 2007 it was decided that a new demo should be recorded. Morior, Chimedra and Turms rented a small studio that suited their needs.
