Einherjer

Einherjer is a Norwegian Black Metal band, from Haugesund, Rogaland. Formed in 1993, the band's theme is Scandinavian mythology. Einherjer was formed in January 1993 by Frode Glesnes (guitar) and Gerhard Storesund (drums) after the split of their band Belzebub. Together, with singer Rune Bjelland and Audun Wold, they recorded a four-track demo the same year titled Aurora borealis. A year later, in October 1994, they recorded at Lydloftet studio the EP Leve Vikingånden, released on the label Necromantic Gallery Productions. In 1996, Audun Wold switched from bass to guitar, the vacant position being taken over by Stein Sund. This line-up recorded the band's first album, titled Dragons of the North, released on the label Napalm Records.
