ABIGOR was formed in mid 1993 by P.K. and T.T. Immediately after that, Rune (now known as Tharen) joined ABIGOR as vocalist. The first demo, entitled ‘Ash Nazgh…’ was released in autumn 93, and in December the second demo, ‘lux devicta est’. In February 94 the ‘Promo-Tape II/94’ was released, and in March the last official demo, ‘Moonrise’. After the release of ‘Moonrise’, Tharen had to leave ABIGOR because of his passivity and lack of dedication. He was then replaced with Silenius. With Silenius on vocals they recorded a limited demo tape, entitled In ‘Hate & Sin’ and also signed a multi-record deal with the Austrian label NAPALM RECORDS.

In June 94 the debut CD ‘Verwüstung / Invoke The Dark Age’ was recorded, and ‘Verwüstung’ convinced with outstanding Black-Metal, so it set ablaze ABIGOR’s mark as one of the best bands within the Black-Metal genre. In November 94 the concept MCD ‘Orkblut - The Retaliation’ was recorded. ‘Orkblut’ is the story of a warrior who remembers his pagan origins which inflame his heart. It shows his life from the day he rises, his feelings and his last battle, until his death and the severance of flesh and spirit.

In Spring 1995 the overworked demo-song ‘Shadowlord’ was exclusively recorded for the NAPALM Compilation ‘With Us Or Against Us Vol.1’. In May 95 ABIGOR entered the studio again to record ‘Nachthymnen (From The Twilight Kingdom)’, and it showed the first time ABIGOR’s real capacity, and their ability of realizing majestic soundscapes of dark atmospheres as it’s best. In November the same year they started the recordings for the first chapter of ‘Opus IV’, entitled ‘Horns Lurk Beyond The Stars’.

Nachthymnen is one of the the greatest black metal albums ever. Abigor is so very cold and grim and beautifully frostbitten.
