Dunkelheit (aka Dunkel:heit) started out in the summer of '92 as a part-time industrial-style project 

containing members from the industrial metal band Red Harvest.
After recording some songs, they decided to keep going and started recruiting more members.
Around a year later they recorded a demo on an 8-track recorder.
Instead of pushing their demo heavily around, they band started playing with the idea of doing a compilation CD. 

The CD, entitled "The Reincarnation Of The Sun", was released in February 1994 by Dunkel Prod. 

and contained (mostly) exclusive material from Red Harvest, Anstalt, Valhall, Dunkelheit, Remyl, Piledriver and Humid.
Shortly after this release, Suggestion Records got in touch with the band and offered a deal for a 7" EP. 
"More Than Meets The Third Eye" was recorded with four new songs and released in the summer of '94.
Pleased with the result of this 7" EP, Suggestion offered a deal for a full-length CD.
The material was recorded in March '95, and the CD "Obey" was released in the end of the summer '95.
Since then the project was put on hold.

Golden Dawn is an Austrian band formed by Stefan Traunmüller (aka Dreamlord), 

originally as a one-man black metal project, in 1992. 

After a demo and one split release the band attracted the attention of two influential Austrian metallists, 

Ray Wells of Pazuzu and Martin Schirenc of Pungent Stench and Hollenthon, 

which led to a compilation appearance and eventually a recording contract with Dark Matter Records.
Traunmüller recorded his debut album, The Art of Dreaming, while still a one-man band, 

but with session help from Thomas Tannenberger of Abigor and Martin Schirenc.

The blend of medieval-sounding keyboards, harsh black metal with blast beats and high screams 

and some dreamy ambient parts was very innovative at that time.
Dark Matter soon folded, however, and it was not until seven years later that the band, 

now consisting of four members, recorded its next album, Masquerade, with Napalm Records.
In January 2012, the new album, Return To Provenance, was released on Non Serviam Records.
