Biography

A black metal band that formed in Sweden in 1990, Nifelheim released a relatively small handful of albums in their career, and went through a number of lineup changes, but maintained enough of a following to keep the core of the band pressing on for nearly twenty years. Founders -- and twin brothers -- Per and Erik Gustavsson, who went by the names Hellbutcher (vocals) and Tyrant (bass), respectively, released their first album with longstanding partner in metal Demon in 1994. That particular self-titled affair was followed by 1997's Devil's Force, 2000's Servants of Darkness, 2003's 13 Years, 2006's split album with Vulcano, and 2007's Envoy of Lucifer. Over the years the line up would eventually settle on the Gustavsson brothers with Apocalyptic Desolator (Johan Bergeback) on guitar, Vengeance From Beyond (Sebastian Reamstedt) on second guitar, and Insulter of Jesus Christ (Peter Stjarnvind) taking on the drums.
