Biography

The essence of Sigrblot is divided into two separate parts - the musical and the lyrical side, both being equally significant.

Due to the lyrical side being considered controversial by the current norms of the civilization we reside in an explanation will follow below.

The concept of Sigrblot is not a political one in regards to mundane social issues. It is one of a spiritual origin which has its foundation in a worldview seen from the standpoint of blood, ancestry and folk soul. As Europeans we find it natural to take interest in the future course of our people and cultural heritage by debating the issue and expressing our opinion on the matter.

The main focus being an obligation towards the derivation from which we have inherited the present and how this is handled. We do not see ourselves as any kind of prophets, gospel bearers or heralds of the ultimate truth. We describe the world around us as we see it and vent our feelings towards the society we are forced to take part of - the task of judging our memorandum is fully up to the listener.

Although the music itself is modelled around various forms of extreme metal, while the lyrical side explores topics common within so called 'ethnocentric music' the band in its entirety does not wish to represent any specific musical genre, subculture or carved out ideology.

We are part of a race that is being led down the path of self-destruction. Oppose it - or accept and embrace it as so many others have done. It is not our purpose to preach or pass sentence, in death your afterlife is how you are remembered among the living.

Sigrblot as a band came into existence in the year 1996. Having established contact with Swedish magazine and label Nordland, Sigrblot was offered to participate on a compilation CD titled 'White Death' - two songs were recorded and mixed in an equal amount of days in the spring of 1997.

While preparing material for the debut album Sigrblot was approached by Tellurian Battlegrounds Productions in 1998 and asked to contribute with a track for a compilation cassette tribute to C Z C by the name of 'P!'. Being much inspired by the writings and deeds of Codreanu and the Iron Guard, the band accepted.

In late 1999, it was decided that the band had enough material to begin recording the debut album - a process which was worked on in periods until completion in the winter of 2003.
