Band

The 2002 Demo ‚Awakening of the ancient past‘ contains the racist, xenophobic song ‚Desecration of our fatherland‘. The demo was re-released in 2004 by Au-To-Dafe and in 2021 by the NSBM label Dark Hidden Productions.

The 2003 split with Hagalaz was called ‚Nation Honour Destiny‘ and contained the song ‚Υπερασπιστές γης, αίματος και πνεύματος‘ (‚Defenders Of Soil, Blood & Spirit‘). The backcover contains a swastika.

The 2004 debut album ‚Beyond the endless horizons‘ contains the song ‚Heathenish Wrath‘ which is about ‚Cleansing of non-Aryan beliefs‚. The title track contains the lines: ‚To reach the Light first must pass through the Night
To reach the ancient happiness instead of the materialistic misery
Beyond the endless horizons where the Swastika rises‚. The first release from 2004 has a swastika on the cover.

The split release with Massenvernichtung (‚Magna Europa est patria nostria‘) contains NS lyrics, besides the obvious title. In the credits, the bands greets a lot of NS bands and labels and references the Greek fascist Golden Dawn party (‚For a Golden Dawn to rise‘). The artwork and lyrics reference artists with known ties to the German Nazi regime, such as Leni Riefenstahl, Erich Limpach or Lothar Stengel von Rutkowski. The booklet contains a text from Moros, which is ‚the ususal‘ NS propaganda and references the fascist author Oswald Spengler.

The artwork for the 2005 album ‚Wolforder‘ was done by the US NS musician Andy Franklin, who e.g. ran the NS label Hakenkreuz Productions. It contains NS lyrics (e.g. ‚Wolforder‘, ‚W.A.R.‘, ‚Bloodshed for Victory‘) and a Burzum cover.

Nearly all of the labels the band works or worked with are NSBM labels.

The band was part of numerous NS compilations, such as ‚Heidengesang aus finsterem Walde‘ by Oskorei Bild und Tonkunst (2006), ‚Totenlieder – NS Compilation‘ by Asaland Productions (2003), ‚Hellenic Vanguard N.S.B.M. Weltanschauung‘ by Resistance Hellas Magazine (2004), ‚…Of Hate & Blood‘ by Illegal Angel Productions (2005), ‚Anti-Geldof Compilation‘ by Supernal Music (2006), ‚Black Metal Hellenic Cult‘ by Azermedoth Records (2017) or ‚Achtung Juden‘ by Culto Solar (2022).
