NUMENOR made its apparition during the year 2000, and was originally just one of the side projects of N.Sandoval. But after having reflected on it for more than a year, this one decided to devote all his energies to make it one of the best elitist black metal band in France.

From January to July 2001,he thus created 4 pieces that were inspired to him by nature and the cold, which were the founding pillars of musical and spiritual concepts of NUMENOR. These songs were perpetuated and immortalized under the aegis of Emperor Xaelis during the month of August 2001.

This opus lasting roughly 30 minutes has been released on a Digipack™ collector that also contains STRAASHA"s debuts, the whole thing representing a revolutionary Split-CD that is going to make a splash in the French Black Metal scene.

At the present time, N.Sandoval undertakes the creation of a major opus which will be completed by the beginning of the year 2003.

In this album, the artist will push his way of thinking, his ideas and concept to the extremes, creating the most misanthropic and sterile music that"s ever been realized - a pure representation of what according to him really are the cold and the strength of elements.
