Svartpest started out in 1999, but didnt release their first album before March 2003. This album was called Ved Den Drabelige Inngang Til Helvete, and was a typical necro old-school black-metal kinda album. Svartpest is now more viking-metal influenced band, but still aggressive and straight forward. Members of the band: Vocals/Bass -- Condatis Svarthjarte Guitar/Drums -- Frediablo Guitar -- E. Barthel
Band/artist history
vartpest was started in 1999 by me and a guy named Freke. We started out with pretty basic auccustic stuff. Just dark poems with some guitar. I soon got tired of that, and wanted to make more extreme music. So i asked Frediablo if he could join us and do some guitar, and he said yes. Well, soon after Frediablo joined the band, we recorded this shit album called Pestferd. It was recorded in PVG Studios (www.pvg57.net, org, com or .no), the thing was that we were drunk out of our minds, and recorded the stuff onto an ordinary MC player, with no microphnes or anything. Just one fucking channel, Hehe. With us on that album we had Likskrik as a session member. Anyway, youve might heard some of the songs we have on mp3.com, those songs are from the Pestferd album. At that time Svartpest wasnt that serious, hehe. That album was released on PVG too. Soon after we were finished with Pestferd, we kicked Freke out of the band. The reason was his weak opinions about christianity and religion. Easy said, you cant be a christian and still be a member of Svartpest. Hehehehe. With him out of the band, we started to become a bit more serious. Dont get me wrong, of course we drink as hell on every recording and every rehearsal. Not that we rehearse alot, hehehe. And then we recorded the album you guys today know as Ved Den Drabelige Inngang Til Helvete. The working title was I Skogens Mörke. I remember i was kinda looking for a sound in the direction towards the Nattens Madrigal (Ulver) album. But it turned out to be even more primitive and straight forward. Something which is positive after my opinion. Anyway, we signed a deal with Baphomet and the album was released in March 2003. We have also recorded a new album, called Mjödfest. This album will be quite different from Ved Den Drabelige Inngang Til Helvete. Much more viking/folk-metal, with more melody lines. But it will still be straight forward and Svartpest-like.
