OPHIDIAN FOREST is a Croatian/Dutch/US black metal collaboration with individuals writing for the US metal webzine Maëlström.
They create “chaotic pagan black metal” by means of exchanging files over the net and by snail mail as they live thousands of miles away from each other. In fact, none have ever met each other in person, and without the current ease of global communication it’s far less likely that this project would have been possible 10 years ago. Guitarist/bassist Zaragil lives in Croatia, drummer Otrebor lives in San Francisco and vocalist/keyboardist/lyrics writer Amalgamoth is from the NL.

    "SUMMONING OF THE IGNEOUS" (and where to get it). Our Genuinely Black Metal Assault with our Greek brothers-in-arms Pyrifleyethon came out last August. This split is called "Summoning of the Igneous" and it's available for just €7 in the webstore of Victory by Fire http://www.victorybyfire.com/?p=535 and also from the previously mentioned Le Crépuscule du Soir. If you live in the US you also might want to check out Aquarius Records (http://www.aquariusrecords.org/) and both read more about it and listen to samples of tracks from both bands. Aquarius offers copies for $11.98. As of the date of writing this you can currently find it on ebay as well: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/PYRIFLEYETHON-OPHIDIAN-FOREST-SUMMONING-IGNEOUS-/200657137721?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item2eb818f039#ht_1340wt_853) Our next release is expected to come out in January 2012 on UW Records.

    June 2011 will see a split release CD with Pyrifleiethon from Greece (raw old school black metal). It will be out on the French label called Le Crepuscule du Soir (http://lecrepusculedusoir.yolasite.com/news.php). This split release features 4 songs from Pyri and 3 by Ophidian Forest. The three songs are from the sessions for the Susurrus album: "Never Wish To Sleep"/"The Tower"/"The Imminent". The split has very well designed artwork and features lots of lyrics. Hopefully the Susurrus album itself will be released one day. But not before yet another split will appear on UW Records from the States.

    May 2009: Ophidian Forest are now signed by the dutch label called Ziekte-NL (Sickness-NL), and despite the 4 above tracks being from our very first album "Redbad" we are very much into recording our third album. For any news updates go check www.ophidianforest.com. There is also an interesting forum on http://www.keepitfuckingmetal.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=36 And most recently, an great long interview with all the band members has appeared in the webzine called Taste of Khaos, the issue of May 2009, starting on page 64): http://www.tasteofkhaos.com/tok-issues/TOKmay09.pdf Enjoy!

    Another year, another round. 2008 was a year of promise and disillusion. Our 2nd album "Plains" was to be released, but in the end we had to take care of it by ourselves anyway. We are now busy preparing it for a label-less release. Lesson: don't depend on anyone. Not in the music business, and if you can, not on anyone in life. A 3rd album will follow later this year. We won't knuckle under just because no one will notice us! We are heathen spirit! www.ophidianforest.com

    Right, in July we've signed a contract, but our label owner got into financial trouble and can no longer live up to it. What a wonderful disenchantment. Now it's back to square one and we must go on the lookout again for another label that's not suffering from poor sales. It's partly due to too many people downloading stuff and too few people wanting to hold an actual CD with real artwork in their hands. Perhaps we should entitle our 3rd album "Corrupted mp3", heh heh. No really, this just sucks.

    I'd like to forward the following announcemen on behalf of Otrebor, our drummer: "We are happy to announce that Ophidian Forest's first recording, "Redbad," will be released by label Eichenwald Industries (http://www.eichenwald-industries.com/) in early 2009. "Redbad" was released in a limited, DIY quantity of 50 and sold at local shops in San Francisco and on tour in various cities in Japan. It has sold out. Eichenwald Industries will be pressing at least 1,000 copies of the album, with new artwork and layout, to be distributed worldwide. Ophidian Forest is thrilled to be working with Eichenwald, whose owner, Duncan Dinsdale, used to run Rage of Achilles records and the Earache subsidiary, Codebreaker. Both labels have put out albums that we cherished as fans far before signing this deal." Note: The Japan tour mentioned above was not one from Ophidian Forest but from Otrebor's previous band called Utter Bastard, a grindcore band that has ground to a halt early this year.
