Dødheimsgard
Dødheimsgard (also known as DHG) is a Norwegian extreme metal band formed in 1994. Dødheimsgard originally played black metal, but 1999's ''666 International'' saw them change their style into experimental and avant-garde/industrial metal. In 2000, they shortened their name to DHG. Their name,"Dødheimsgard" is a contraction of three words: ''Død'' which means 'death', ''heim'' which means 'home' and ''gard'' which means (at least in this context) 'realm'. A natural translation into English would be "Realm of Death". History Founding of the band and ''Kronet til Konge'' (1994–1995) The band was founded in 1994. At the time they consisted of three members: Vicotnik (drums, backing vocals), Fenriz (bass, additional vocals) and Aldrahn (lead vocals and guitar) This line up recorded a promotional demo before releasing their debut album ''Kronet til Konge'' on Malicious Records in 1995.

666 International
''666 International'' is the third full-length album by Norwegian black metal band Dødheimsgard. It was released on June 11, 1999, by Moonfog Productions. With ''666 International'', Dødheimsgard abandoned the black metal style of their previous two albums, further developing the style of their EP '' Satanic Art'' (1998). The album heads into a more avant-garde style that fuses black and industrial metal, with some electronic and keyboard interludes. ''666 International'' was Dødheimsgard's last release to feature Aldrahn on vocals (until his eventual return to the band in 2013, when the band recorded '' A Umbra Omega'' with him), Apollyon on bass, and Svein Egil Hatlevik on keyboards. It was also their last release under the name Dødheimsgard; in 2003, the band shortened their name to DHG. The piano intro on "Shiva-Interfere" is taken from the outro track "Wrapped in Plastic" from ''Satanic Art''. It was re-released in 2011 by Peaceville Records, and included two bonus t ...

Satanic Art
''Satanic Art'' is an EP by Norwegian black metal band Dødheimsgard. It was released in May 1998, by Moonfog Productions. ''Satanic Art'' marks the beginning of Dødheimsgard's transition from black metal to a more industrial/avant-garde sound, which was not fully realized until their next album, ''666 International'' (1999). It was Dødheimsgard's first release to feature Svein Egil Hatlevik (Fleurety) on keyboards, their only one to feature Galder (Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child) on guitars and the last to feature Cerberus on bass. The samples used in the songs "Traces of Reality" and "Wrapped in Plastic" are both taken from the TV series ''Twin Peaks''.
