Glamdring was started in 2006 by vocalist Tor Magnus and was originally intended to be a one man project with no live shows.

Tor Magnus composed every song and performed guitars and vocals on the first EP, Lucifer's Tomb, as well as the first full length album, Death Do Us Part.

On the latter album, Tor Magnus teamed up with drummer Doomspel, whom he met through a short performance with another local band named Legions of Acheron. Doomspel played drums on the recording for Death Do Us Part and, afterwards, his brother Nick joined the band as guitarist. Soon after, Scott Barber and Viskarith teamed up with the three as accompanying guitarist and bassist.

After a few performances, Nick (Ivegion) left to pursue his own solo project and Scott left the band also. It was around this time that Glamdring started working on their second album "As The World Decays". As Doomspel and Tor Magnus began work on the second album and began to be noticed by many other local and Christian bands, Ivegion rejoined the band as guitarist.

At the end of 2010, Glamdring became a one man project once more, with Tor Magnus producing everything. Now Glamdring stands as a tribute to the first pioneers of the Norwegian Black Metal sound.

However, Glamdring also stands among the few who choose to represent the message of Christ through their music. In a spiritually and musically dead city, the bands message comes as a breath of fresh air to some. To others, they are a highly controversial group.

Glamdring's music may not necessarily give listeners what they WANT to hear, but it will give them what they NEED to hear, making them an important addition to the Christian Metal genre.

No matter what background or musical style you associate with, you can always expect good old fashioned black metal quality from their material.

We hope you enjoy our music.
God Bless you all !
