Formed in 1994, Asgaard debuted with their demo "Excellent Darkness Art" in 1995, gaining recognition in the doom and dark metal scenes. Their 1998 debut album, "When The Twilight Set In Again," was released by Mystic Production and showcased a doom-gothic-folk atmosphere, leading to notable performances alongside Behemoth and Limbonic Art. The arrival of new vocalist Przemyslaw ‘Quazarre’ Olbryt revolutionized their sound for their sophomore album, "Ad sidera, Ad infinitum" (2000), which featured innovative arrangements and theatrical elements. Following a successful period with Metal Mind Productions, they released "Ex Oriente Lux" (2001) and "XIII Voltum Lunae" (2002), earning acclaim for their blend of symphonic and traditional metal. In 2003, they released the "Lux In Tenebris" DVD and continued to perform with prominent bands like Katatonia. Their fifth album, "EyeMDX-easy" (2004), pushed musical boundaries with heavier and more complex compositions, while their 2012 album "Stairs to Nowhere" showcased eclectic influences, earning widespread media attention. After a successful return with the album "What if…" in 2022, which explored rock-oriented sounds and Polish lyrics, Asgaard is back with their most experimental work yet— the "Lullabies for Harlots" EP. This release features two new tracks, a cover of Behemoth’s “Antichristian Phenomenon,” and acoustic versions of songs from "What if…". The EP showcases their continued evolution in dark electronic music, with striking artwork by acclaimed designer Bartłomiej Trzos. Don’t miss this exciting new chapter in Asgaard’s journey! |
