Ah, you seek informaton on history of Byzantum, only wolfen warriors in wicked ways of Nightspirit? Byzantum original formed by Vas Djifrens and Orcus Oafen in 1991 as death metal group Paindriver. 7" 'Gore Through Blood' released on Nighstkill records in 1992. We were teenager then. We experiment in industrial/electronic style. Not good, they are out of print, all of the musical documents. their non-heathen ways shall remain buried. Paindriver break up in 1993 as original norwegian black metal scene gaining attention. we watch scene with interest but were not yet prctitioners despite growing influence on Paindriver. At 17 i receive vision from nightspirit, i realize my true destiny as bringer of truer era of darkness, ways to bring the days of Odin back to the era now. (The werewolf powers surge thru teenage body, i kill first human, haha they think it random murder yes but it was alaso the new flesh of wolfen spirit born for they are not awre). (the old bm scene falling apart, controversy gaining moentum. more commercial sellouts becoming new pop star metal haed poseur chriatian weaklings.) We begin work on new band, we call it first Black Moon. It was shit, our Wolfen calling not yet fuly accomplished. i become lycanthrope and earn to surf the black astral planes of nightspirit. we rename band Byzantum, the cold merciless maze of nordic woods and our music only navigable to wolfen warriors of Odin. we kick out shit drummer then get replacemet Vorg. 2 years ago the nightspirit directs us to arctic canada, a norther region where the new Valhalla will be established. We leave for their. We remain. We now record Canadian Werewolf True Pitch Black Metal, which is the newest vanguard of nightspirit, the old black metal bands became too christianized and such. later we record album, "Beneath the Haunted Moon". Darkness established.
