Sigrblot as a band came into existence in the year 1996. Having established contact with Swedish magazine and label Nordland, Sigrblot was offered to participate on a compilation CD titled ‘White Death' – two songs were recorded and mixed in an equal amount of days in the spring of 1997.

While preparing material for the debut album Sigrblot was approached by Tellurian Battlegrounds Productions in 1998 and asked to contribute with a track for a compilation cassette tribute to Corneliu Zelea Codreanu by the name of ‘Prezent!'. Being much inspired by the writings and deeds of Codreanu and the Iron Guard, the band accepted.

In late 1999, it was decided that the band had enough material to begin recording the debut album – a process which was worked on in periods until completion in the winter of 2003.
