No holds barred Black-industrial Death-Grind all served up with an undertone of misery. Based in the UK Nierty is a gathering of lost souls with the unrelenting need to spread true contempt for humanity 

THE OLD TESTAMENT
Nierty was started late in 2006 in north wales by founding member Skaven as a raw one man project with only one concept, to make a series of experimental EPs of the most furious and visciously distorted underground metal possible. between the years 2007 and 2009 Nierty unleashed 4 conceptual albums. maniacal laughter, diametrical infarcations, dominion, and essence of the nightbringer, with variouse self produced cover art and a filthy underground productions. 

THE NEW TESTAMENT 
By the dawn of 2010 nierty is darkened further by the addition of a full band line up including two members of the cult band Hecate Enthroned, for the recording of the first collaborative album Fed To Rats and re-release of Essence Of The Nightbringer to engage the underground's live scene. Further strengthening there ranks Nierty enlisted the help of the session opratix by Archvile, and new guitarist Xaphanas for the 3rd album Acolytes Of The Descent which was to be released on the Norwegian Antilable of Daniel Vrangsin(carpathian forest) Misantrof on Halloween as the 3rd installment of a trilogy of Free albums released in 2010 to unleash all hell upon mankind.

Lunar Aurora


Country of origin: Germany
Status: Split-up
Formed in: 1994
Genre: Black Metal

Aran and Whyrhd formed Lunar Aurora in December 1994.
The band had been on hiatus from 2006 through 2011 for various personal reasons. The band eventually split-up in 2012.

Sindar is Aran's younger brother.

The exclusive song "Der Wanderer Des Feuermondes" can be found on the "Nachtzauber" compilation released by the German Mørkeskye Magazine.

The exclusive song "Der Leere Thron" can be found on the "Wurzelgeister" compilation released by Ketzer Records.

All the releases in 2004 had been recorded much earlier, but delayed heavily. 
This was mainly caused by both of the labels the band had been working with at the time (Kettenhund Records and Ars Metalli) going down. After a short-lived and unpleasant deal with "The Oath" from Italy, Lunar Aurora ended up founding their own label Cold Dimensions, which was originally run by Whyrhd and later continued as a sub-label of Prophecy Productions.

Another interesting development in that period was all of the members switching their main instrumental duties: Aran from guitar to drums, Whyrhd from bass to guitar, and Sindar from keyboard to bass. Aran went back to guitar when drummer Profanatitas was found.

Split up in November 2012. The statement from the band's website says:

"it has always been clear that also LUNAR AURORA will end some day. And this autumn we felt that it is time to lay the band to rest. We came to that decision for various reasons, the two following may be the most significant. On one hand our imaginations of future musical projects are difficult to reconcile with LUNAR AURORA, on the other hand we feel that LUNAR AURORA is out of tune with these times. We have never been people that speechify, so we won't make a big deal out of that, either.

It have been 18 great years and for that we want to say a big "THANK YOU!" to the people who have been with us during those years. Especially the fans as well as the bands we played with or did projects with. Not to forget the magazines, distributors, concert promoters, without whom publicity would not have been possible. Our label partners Frank Stöver, Andreas Lacher and Tom Wahl we owe deep thankfulness for their energy and trust.

With deep gratefulness we think of our bandmates Sindar, Nathaniel, Profanatitas, Biil, Skoarth and Bernhard Klepper for all they did for LUNAR AURORA with great dedication.

Although there won't be a new LUNAR AURORA album anymore, we will make sure that the long out of stock albums "... of stargates...", "Elixir of Sorrow" and "A haudiga Fluag" will be available through COLD DIMENSIONS within the next 1-2 years.

Until we meet again..."
