Angrenost was formed in 1995 when Pursan and Ainvar (Storm Legion, Sirius) joined forces.
In 1997 they recorded in one afternoon at Pinguim Studios the demo-EP "Evil",
that was released in 1998 as a MCD by the label Andromeda Creations.
After many issues the band split apart by the end of 1998,
just before recording their debut album, and stayed in a coma for almost twelve years.
In 2010 Pursan reactivated Angrenost without Ainvar but with two new members,
Erdsaf (Bass, Drum programming) and Enobólico (Guitars, Maldição, Murmúrio, Wavelength Satan).
After a deal established with the Italian label Code666 Records,
in 2013 Angrenost released their debut album "Planet Muscaria".
In "Planet Muscaria" their sound differentiated into a more cold industrial/ambient/black metal
and their lyrics explored the psychological depths of human psyche and the miserable side in the human existence.
In 2017 they released on Altare Productions the album "Nox Et Hiems" this time with W.uR (Israthoum, Monte Penumbra)
replacing Enobólico on guitars and their style changing again into a more traditional black metal sound 
with Pursan delivering an excellent performance on vocals similar to that of Aldrahn (Urarv) and Attila Csihar (Mayhem).
2022 saw the return of founder Ainvar (aka A.Ara) on guitars replacing W.uR 
and also the addition of Magnús Skúlason (Misþyrming, ex-Svartidauði) on drums.
