Black Swords

In June 1994, “Black” (drums) and “Rot” (guitars) joined Éric D. (guitars & vocals) to restart his band. In December, while Dave (bass) joined, Éric continued as a one-man band under the name “Ragnarok”, then “Aran Spiritual Spiral”, followed by “Aran” (his new pseudonym at the time). Under that moniker a demo and an album were recorded. Black, Rot, and Dave, meanwhile, created the band “Black Swords”. In 1996 Black changed his pseudonym to “B.Iron”, and Rot changed his to “Gloom”. In 2006, the band planned to be renamed “Optimistic Decay” after a final demo under the name Black Swords, with the line-up as it was then. Gloom and B.Iron would then be the only members under the new name. Following K.Dich's Death in 2007, none of those projects (the last demo, and realization of Optimistic Decay) took place.
