Biografie : Skoll (ITA)

Skoll start his activity in 1994. Since the beginning the purpose was to create atmospheric yet mystical music, strictly linked to the ideals of the Ancient European Pagan heritage.
Skoll can be named between the very first bands that influenced the Pagan movement in the Italian Black Metal Underground.

In 2000 M (the bard) remained the only one into the project; canceled the live activity and started his own personal path releasing the following milestones with the help of talented guest musicians from the Underground.
In 2015 after 18 years without live gigs M (the bard) decided to take part at the prestigious Black Winter Festival together with Nokturnal Mortuum, Acherontas, Ad Hominem, Abhor and more.
