Norwegian depressive black metal.
Formed back in -93 but existed even earlier under a couple of different names. Have missed these guys but will do some listening, whatever little there is to find.
They haven´t recorded that much, only the demo & EP in the 90´s and a split with Malfeitor in -07.
“Strid means “Battle” in Norwegian. The band later became noted as a pioneer of depressive black metal, with “End of Life” regarded as the earliest recording of the style.”
