Sons of Balaur are a true kult Black Metal band based in Oslo, Norway. Formed in March, 1992, the band were part of the original first wave of Norwegian Black Metal – a notorious inner circle of underground artists who took music to extremes it had never previously reached. Started in secret, for obvious reasons, the band features some of Norwegian Black Metal’s most dedicated and shadowy personalities: Tomas – vocals and guitar, Markus – bass guitar, Kristoffer – guitar, and Lars – drums.

The band are true followers of the Dark Arts, and their songs are as much spells to the black forces of the underworld as they are music. The band have, until now, only played to secretive gatherings of the followers of the cult of Balaur, a vampire whose legends permeate the darkest recesses of Romanian folklore and sorcery. No one knows the real name of this legendary Carpathian predator. Known as ‘Balaur’ (the Dragon) for his demonic ability to breathe fire, he existed for a relatively short period in 15th/16th century Europe, feared among mortals and vampires alike.
After an absence of fifteen years, during which no one outside of the most extreme Satanic circles has known anything that could be substantiated about their activities, the ‘Sons Of Balaur’ have returned from their self-imposed exile in the netherworld to release their debut full length album…
Influenced by the dark forces of the underworld and the true Norwegian Black Metal sound of their contemporaries, bands such as:
Emperor
Burzum
(the true) Mayhem
