Founded in the late 1990s by Vega Salruas and Eternal Life, Ordo Natum Bamay Crom have been weaving Viking mythology into raw black metal since their early EP "Crom: God and King" (2002). Their 2019 full-length "Imperium Maximus" showcases the band's layered approach, blending tremolo-driven aggression with folk-tinged atmosphere and violin arrangements. Decades of underground perseverance have made them one of the few Brazilian acts to sustain a genuine Viking black metal vision long-term.
Grodno-based atmospheric and depressive black metal project active since 2009, drawing on occult and esoteric themes. Named after the infamous ceremonial magic order, the project pairs bleak, despondent passages with moments of ritual intensity.
