Vienna, Austria (1993 – present)
Summoning is an epic and atmospheric black metal band from Vienna, Austria. Their style has been described as Tolkien black metal - not without reason, for the lyrics on most of the albums they have published yet deal with the mythological world of J. R. R. Tolkien. The notable exception being Stronghold, which takes its lyrical content from many of Tolkien’s poems rather than directly from his novels.
Summoning was formed somewhere in 1993 by Silenius ( Michael Gregor), Protector (Richard Lederer) and Trifixion (Alexander Trondl) who met in the sort of pub, where they used to drink. Before his activities in Summoning, Protector was playing drums in a kind of “old fashioned” thrash/death metal band Marlignom, that nearly got a record deal at Peaceville Records, but in that time the band broke up. His very first musical experience was a rock band (he was 15 years old then ) and a four year study of drums in the music school. The musical experience of Silenius was a doom metal band Shadow vale (at 16 years old) and few years in music school studying piano. Before Summoning, Silenius was making music, together with Pazuzu (Raymond Wells) in a band Cromm (They made some demos that sounded like Abruptum, but never released anything else). Trifixion played in Pervertum.
Summoning made 2 demos (Upon the Viking’s stallion and Anno Mortiri Domini), promo tape for Minas Morgul and one or two tape samplers with Pazuzu and Cromm. Nearly all songs from demos were never released after or took place on CDs in a very different version.

@DEATHINFIREX: Oath Bound is kind of overrated but still a very good album. Stronghold is probably their worst album. LMHSYF and Dol Goldur should have more spots on the top 15.

There are a lot of songs in the top songs that don't belong there. Really, these guys have put out so much better stuff than those ones.

Dol Guldur is their bestest album. When your songs are over ten minutes and you don't play artsy prog shet then it means that your muzak is both kvlt and epic. True fact.
