艺人介绍

一切都从1995年瑞典的Norrtelje开始，三位老朋友开始谈论成立一个乐队。他们曾尝试各种音乐元素，但主要方向还是速度很快的瑞典语原始金属。毫无疑问，要找到第二个吉他手和鼓手才能得到这种原始大气的声音。

他们克服种种困难并很快发现了在当地被称为恶棍的疯狂金属吉他手Mårten Matsson，他认为他们的想法听起来有趣并且加入了乐队。Mårten将认识几个月鼓手也带入了乐队。所以第一阵容确定下来了，主唱Svenne (Duva) Rosendal ；吉他手Jonas (Rune) Almquist和 Mårten (Karbylundssvingen) Matsson；贝斯手Pierre (skägget) Wilhelmsson；鼓手 Erik (Jurken) Grawsiö。并临时将乐队命名为antikrist并于1995年11月开始排练乐队自己的乐曲& Månljus &。一个月后,他们更名为现在的Månegarm。

在1996年5月，他们感到该是录制自己作品的时候了。三天以后在地下室用四轨录音机录制了小样&Vargaresa&。这是一个张制作和素材都很不错的小样，不幸的是很少受到关注。

夏天，第一阵容变更已经完成，部分成员变的疲惫并且不再关心乐队。新主唱和吉他手的加入乐队。新吉他手Markus Andé是鼓手Grawsiö老朋友，并且表现不俗。而新主唱Jonny Wranning加入乐队之前已经是个声乐家，并且与Wilhelmsson 和Almquist亦是好友。新鲜的血液和概念注入Månegarm，开始了乐队的第二个发展阶段。

经过几个月的排练他们决定录制第二张小样。大家兴奋的进入录音室因为新的东西是最好的。令人感到意外的是一天Wranning要求退出乐队。他们唯一能做的事情就是取消小样的录制而去寻找新的主唱。他们尝试从同一城市寻找但却一无所获，无奈之下他们只能说服Wranning无论如何都要参与新的小样的制作，但没有放弃继续寻找新的主唱。

在录音前二个星期Månegarm联系了一个叫做Gogge的歌手，遗憾的是他并没有足够的时间来参与小样的制作。等待许久的小样&Ur nattvindar& 最后终于在1997年二月被带出阳光工作室，它包含了三首曲目和序曲/尾声。并首次加入小提琴和女声演唱元素，是对Månegarm音乐的完美补充。&Ur nattvindar&比起第一张小样受到了更多的关注。并于几个月后与Displeased Records签下一纸和约。

小样发行之后, Goggan开始与Månegarm合作，但只维持了一个月。乐队只能再次寻找主唱直至该年年底Viktor Hemgren开始担任该角色。并于1998年6月在阳光工作室录制完成第一张唱片&Nordstjärnans Tidsålder&。其中包括Janne Liljequist的小提琴和Ymer Mossige-Norheim的声音。他们非常满意，而且来自听众的回应也非常良好。专辑发行后,他们用了几个月的时间来准备第二张唱片的制作。

99年夏天开始录制&HavetsVargar&。在属于朋友的录音室里起初很融洽，但后来录音室主人已经显得不再友善了。于是仅仅五个月就停止了该唱片的录制，并于12月在地下录音室制作完成了该唱片。后来Hemgren失去激情只好由Grawsiö来负责人声部分。Månegarm由五人乐团变成为了最佳的四重奏。最后他们在地下完成了专辑&HavetsVargar&，并于2000年底发行。

After wisely discarding their original name, Antikrist, following their first month of rehearsal in late 1995, vocalist Svenne Rosendal, guitarists Jonas Almquist and Mårten Matsson, bassist Pierre Wilhelmsson, and drummer/vocalist Erik Grawsiö came to be known as Månegarm -- the vampire wolf of Norse legend that is prophesied to devour the moon when the time of Ragnarök submerges this world under the oceans! Needless to say, this moniker announced Månegarm's newfound commitment to Viking metal, which they proceeded to refine from their home base of Norrtälje, Sweden, over the course of a pair of demo recordings: 1996's Vargaresa (Wolf's Journey) and 1997's Ur Nattvindar, recorded after the installment of new bandmembers Jonny Wranning (vocals) and Markus Andé (guitar, replacing Matsson).

The second demo saw folk music elements gaining more ground within the band's complex sound, thanks to the addition of violins and female vocals in the studio, and it was this intrinsically Scandinavian new sound that landed Månegarm a contract with Displeased Records a short time later -- although they'd have to audition new singers once again, hiring Stockholm-based Viktor Hemgren, before starting work on 1998's official debut album, Nordstjärnans Tidsålder. The title, which translates to English as The Age of the Northstar, proudly proclaimed the group's Viking metal mission to a host of new fans, who eagerly embraced its striking marriage of black metal ferocity and native folk music, driven home yet again by the session female vocals and violins performed by Ymer Mossige-Norheim and soon to be permanent member Janne Liljequist, respectively.

But hanging onto their male vocalists continued to pose a challenge for Månegarm, so after firing their most recent frontman, Hemgren, halfway through the recording of their sophomore album, Havets Vargar (meaning Wolves of the Sea, in case you were wondering), it was decided that drummer Grawsiö would cope with all vocals for the album that would eventually emerge in the year 2000. This elicited no complaints from the band's faithful fans, so after taking a short break to recharge their creative batteries, the same lineup got to work on next full-length Dödsfärd (Death Journey), which was released in 2003 and boasted both a greater variety of tempos (sub-light speed ones, to be precise) and more clean vocals mixed in with lingering black metal croaks.

Both of Månegarm's now legendary demos were remastered and released on CD in 2004, and their fourth album, Vredens Tid (The Age of Wrath) arrived the following year, quickly being hailed as Månegarm's finest album thus far, and resulting in their first ever concerts on the European festival circuit that summer. Månegarm's next release -- a folk-infested EP entitled Urminnes Hävd (The Forest Session) -- marked the end of their relationship with Displeased, and the start of a new one with Swedish label Black Lodge, which quickly bore fruit in 2007 with the release of the group's sixth album, and arguably best yet, Vargstenen (Wolf Stone).
