Kristiansand, Norway (1998 – present)

Blood Red Throne started in Kristiansand, Norway in 1998 when Død and Tchort (while playing in Satyricon at that time), decided to form their own band and show their passion for . Tchort had been playing since 1989 with his band Green Carnation, which was one of the first bands in , and Død had been a huge fan and of the genre since 1992 . Tchort was also the bass player in Emperor in the early 90’s and has been involved with bands like Carpathian Forest and Einherjer. The band soon got in touch with a very skilled drummer living in their hometown by the name of Freddy Bolsø, and BRT was born.

Soon after bassist Erlend Caspersen joined the newly formed Blood Red Throne. The band recorded a demo, entitled Deathmix 2000 with Ronni Thorsen from Trail of Tears providing the vocals. This demo got excellent feedback and BRT got offers from labels right away! Finally having recruited long time friend Mr.Hustler as the permanent frontman, the same line-up recorded the debut Monument of Death and released it through Hammerheart Records in 2001. The limited edition included a package called ‘The Suicide Kit’, which not only contained the actual album, but also a printed razor blade and a poster. The kits were hand numbered in the band members’ own blood!

BRT never did any live shows with this line up; Freddy Bolsø moved back to his hometown and BRT had to find a new drummer. Espen “Beist” Antonsen (The Sickening) joined and the band recorded Affiliated With The Suffering in 2002 and this was their last album through Hammerheart Records. The band did two European tours and the Inferno Fest with this lineup and Beist left as they were about to record their first album for Earache Records.
