Biography
Nokturnal Mortum formed in Kharkiv, Ukraine in 1994, led by Knjaz Varggoth, and are founders of the Ukrainian black metal scene. Albums such as 'Goat Horns', 'To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire', 'The Voice of Steel' and 'Verity' blend symphonic black metal with Ukrainian folk instruments and melodies, often using two keyboard players. The band began as Suppuration in 1991, was briefly associated with the National Socialist black metal scene, and later publicly distanced itself from political agendas while continuing to record and perform.
