Carpathian Forest from Norway formed in 1990, and began their recording career with the cult demo Bloodlust & Perversion in 1992 as the "second wave of black metal" was started to rise to prominence. Throughout the following three decades Carpathian Forest has successfully forged a legacy spanning a multitude of revered studio albums, whilst being renowned as a fierce, if unpredictable, live act. The band features mainman Nattefrost, who enjoyed a successful solo career, alongside his main band. Tchort also features on bass, a familiar name from his previous work with Emperor’s debut album and more diverse acts such as Green Carnation.
