The band contributed to the compilation „Lightning Over The Burning Church“ in 2008, which was a tribute to German band Moonblood. Also on the compilation were NSBM bands like Evil, Bagatur or Perverse Monastyr.

The band recorded a cover of the Burzum Song „Stemmen Fra Tårnet“ („Aske“, 1993). The song was released on the compilation: „Ancient Path Records Compilation“ (Ancient Path Records, 1999).

On the 2017 ‚Gnosis Kardias (Of Transcension and Involution)‘ and the split album with Devathorn, some additional vocals were done by Nikolaos Panagopoulos, who is the main character behind Αχέροντας (Acherontas). Until its foundation, he ran the NSBM band Stutthof. He played live guitars for the NSBM band Legion of Doom and for Nightbringer. He was guest / session musician for the NSBM bands Der Stürmer (2006 / 2022) and Naer Mataron (2013), as well as for bands like Black Altar (2017).
