Incarnator – Nordic Holocaust (Demo 1992)


Country: Norway

Tracklist
1. In Nocturnal Glory (Bonus Track) 05:04
2. Part I 04:14
3. Part II 03:50

Underground one man black metal project created by Bård Titlestad (aka Zyphrianus)
in the end of 1991 and hailing from the southern part of Norway, Stavanger, Rogaland.
The line up at the beginning except Zyphrianus on vocals and guitars also featured Sanrabb (of the Gehenna fame)
on the guitars but shortly after he left searching for other musical tasks.
The first recording was the promo track "In Nocturnal Glory",
created in February 1992 with Zyphrianus handling all the instruments and vocals.
Later that year by mid-October Zyphrianus went to Sound Suite Studios to record the two track demo "Nordic Holocaust".
Both recordings were passed only to close friends and contacts around the world.
By that time Euronymous of Mayhem got very interested in Incarnator's material
to the point of offering Zyphrianus a contract for a debut album on his Deathlike Silence Productions label.
Of course nothing happened due to Euronymous' death in 1993.
After all these incidents Zyphrianus returned to the isolation he came from,
loosing interest in the then growing black metal scene, which, at his eyes, was getting too much attention from outsiders.
The Memory link features as bonus the promo track "In Nocturnal Glory".
