By now, OFERMOD should require no introduction. Formed back in the dark days of 1996, the band released their debut EP, Mystérion Tés Anomias, in 1998. Although a mere two songs, OFERMOD's opening salvo sowed the seeds for the orthodox black metal movement that would begin to blossom in the new millennium, alongside fellow SHADOW RECORDS alumni FUNERAL MIST and MALIGN. Crime and chaos followed mainman Belfagor everywhere he went, and the band's momentum remained halted. However, OFERMOD eventually became a working entity again, starting with 2008's Tiamtü full-length, and through magick and will did more recordings follow: Thaumiel (2012), the two-song Serpents' Dance EP (2014), Sol Nox (2017), and the posthumous Pentagrammaton, originally intended to be the band's debut album. And just last year, a renewed and reinvigorated OFERMOD released the acclaimed full-length Mysterium Iniquitatus.
