biografía : Naer Mataron

Naer Mataron were gathered back in the year 1994 with the aim to play Hellenic black metal. Their lyrics are dealing with the ancient Hellenic pantheon, with virtues such as pride and honour drawn from periods and heroes of European history.
With line-up changes and personal conflicts Naer Mataron released a promo "The Great God Pan". With this release they signed a deal with Black Lotus Rec. Kaiadas is now leading this black metal tank and in 1998 their first album entitled "Up From The Ashes "became a reality. A masterpiece of fast, violent black metal with melodic pagan atmosphere and feeling.
For two whole years Naer Mataron worked on new material with a satanic devotion to their cause and finally in November 2000 their album entitled "Scotos Aenaon"(ancient Greek phrase for endless darkness) hit the streets. This album gives a jolt to the Hellenic black metal scene. Fast drumming and riffing mix with epic melodies supported by keyboards completed by the haunting screaming vocals
Naer Mataron participate in many live shows such as the memorable live with Mayhem, Rotting Christ and Order Of The Ebon Hand. In 2001 Aphelion prod. releases a 7"ep called "A Holocaust In Front Of God..s Eyes" in the vein of old school black metal.
In 2002, Kaiadas meets the person who changes the way the songs were composed. His name is Warhead. His inexhaustible talent in dominating over drum kit was an inspiration to the band. Kaiadas bases on him the third album "River At Dash Scalding". At the same time, Nordvargr from the Satanik Death Noize band MZ412, composes 2 songs and plays the percussions for a third one, those are included in the “River At Dash Scalding”. This album is recorded in the well-known Praxis studio. This time the band sounds like a war machine of raging fury. Ingenious compositions of real black metal music, an unrivalled album. A long succession of live shows follows. Naer Mataron participate in a remarkable live in Gagarin club with Rotting Christ and Horrified, their performance is majestic. In the beginning of 2004 the band performs live with Gorgoroth and the show is unholy, like it is supposed to be.
In 2004 Shadowface rec. releases a limited to 1000 copies anniversary album entitled "Aghivasiin-Lesson On How To Defeat Death". During the 2004 spring-summer period three new releases come to light. At first the album "River At Dash Scalding" is being released on double LP by the Norwegian Apocalyptic Empire rec. Then Black Lotus rec. re-released the first two albums on a double CD edition, entitled "Awaken In Oblivion", limited to 2000 copies. Also the debut "Up From The Ashes" is being released to vinyl limited to 500 copies by the German Undercover rec. Satanic noise propaganda stigmatize Naer Mataron as Nordvargr becomes a member of the band. Naer Mataron supports Dissection in Thessaloniki giving a great show to the fans and afterwards travels to Bulgaria where they headline the Winter Storm festival.
In 2005 Naer Mataron are recording their album "Discipline Manifesto" in Athens and complete it in Oslo, Norway. Naer Mataron after recording with mister Vicotnik (Ved Buens Ende, Dodheimsgard), Agressor (Aura Noir, Virus) and Apollyon (Aura Noir, Lamented Souls), they mix and master the "Discipline Manifesto" album in Oslo at the Skrekk and Skru studio and in the famous Strype Audio with Vicotnik and Tom Kvalsvoll. They performed live in one of the greatest festivals in Europe, the Inferno festival, along with names like Morbid Angel, Candlemass, Arcturus, Dissection, Aura Noir, Lamented Souls, Gehenna, Tsjuder, it was the ultimate live show.
Spring passes ... Summer is coming and still the sky is dark..."Discipline Manifesto" is being released...
The release of “Discipline Manifesto” is followed by a row of powerful live shows throughout Hellas and Europe, with the addition of Indra on the guitars. These shows, a true manifestation of the band's loyalty to true black metal for more than 12 years, draw the attention of several labels, and finally result in a new contract with Season of Mist Records in 2006.
In the Spring of 2007, Naer Mataron travel to Oslo, Norway and enter the studio to record "Praetorians"... The spawn of Naer Mataron's unholy alliance with the notorious mr. Vicotnik (Vocals & production), is something more than the 5th album of one of the most respected Hellenic hordes: it is actually their most extreme, fast and uncompromising work to date! Release date set for May 2008.
