Azaghal

The band was originally called Belfegor , and they released one demo "The Ancient Gods of Evil" under that name. After that they split up, but reformed in 1997 as Nargoventor. Soon after that, they changed their name to Azaghal, which is a name of a dwarf king in Tolkien's mythology. Varjoherra was absent from the band for some time before officially leaving. Niflungr temporarily replaced him for some live gigs during this time. The band credits "Unhuman Warmachine" on some releases as their drummer, but this is just a drum machine.
