History & Biography
Uppsala, Sweden is home to the grand Uppsala Cathedral and also home to black metal band Nazghor. Nazghor’s members have obviously failed so long as the cathedral towers over them.
The group was founded by Nekhrid and Armageddor in November 2012 and issued a demo, called Life Impaled, in 2013. Dead Center Productions issued 2014’s Upon The Darkest Season. It had also re-released the band’s demo. In the same year Black Plague Records and Metallic Media issued Through Darkness And Hell. The title may have been a reference to spending a day travelling in New York City. The band independently issued Diabolical Teachings in 2015, but it was also distributed by Metallic Media. Drummer Cosmarul came and went in 2015. Two Unangel members joined in 2015. 2016 brought Death's Withered Chants through Satanath Records. Several Polish shows followed.

Again on a new label, Infernal Aphorism was issued in October of 2017. The line-up had remained steady. Nemgrá returned in 2018. The next release, past several songs being uploaded, was in 2022. Seventh Secular Crusade was released in November of 2022. The group had been working on the record for several years. Shows like The Capital Deathfest were cancelled, but the group played a tenth anniversary concert with Eosphorus opening in Stockholm. The act played its entire new album. The line-up featured a new bassist and drummer as Crowlech and Nemgrá had left after recording the Seventh Secular Crusade. Bassist Galthran (ex-Cryonic) and drummer Jester J. were new in the line-up. The band was booked for Black Hole Fest Germania and to open for The Crown in the autumn of 2023. Jester J left after a year in the band in 2023. His replacement as of 2024 was Fáunas. The band played at Sweden Rock Festival and was booked for 2025's Chaos Fest in May alongside Mephorash, IXXI and Grand Harvest.

The band has called its music ‘black metal of death.’

The word ‘Nazghor’ is invented by the band to mean ‘the soldiers of the throne of darkness.’
