Ofermod
Ofermod is a Swedish black and death metal band founded in 1996 by Michayah Belfagor, taking their name from an Old English term meaning excessive pride, drawn from a 1953 J.R.R. Tolkien essay. The band's early single Mystérion Tés Anomias (1998) became a cult artifact in the Swedish underground, and after years of inactivity tied to Belfagor's personal circumstances, the band resumed with the debut full-length Tiamtü (2008), produced by Magnus Andersson of Marduk. Subsequent albums Thaumiel (2012) and Sol Nox (2017) extended Ofermod's reputation for theologically dense, occult-oriented black metal.
