SORGHEGARD was spawned from the black abyss in the early 2000.
The concept of the band was to play blasphemous music and sing the lyrics in the native tongue. The song “Kvar finns blott skuggor av godhetens tjänare” was recorded for the compilation cd “ Witchcraft and Folklore”. Due to lack of time the band decided to split up at the end of 2000.

2004

In the beginning of the year 2004 the band felt an urge to channel their hate again.
The bands concept was changed. The lyrics are now written in English, with themes like Satanism, war, anti-religious and blasphemy. The music became more influenced by American/Canadian and South American scene.

In April 2004 a demo was recorded consisting of 4 anthems of war.
The demo was sent to various labels around the world.
In Oct 2004 SORGHEGARD ended up signing a deal with WORLD CHAOS PRODUCTIONS for the release of their debut cd titled “Holocaust Of The Holy”.

During 8 days in Nov 2004 the recording of Holocaust Of The Holy took place in NECROMORBUS Studios(swe). 11 blasphemous war anthems were recorded and two cover songs, Blasphemy – “Blasphemous Attack” and Immortal – “Unsilent Storms In The North Abyss”. The cover songs will be featured on the Vinyl version.
