Carpathian Forest are one of the few legends that are still alive and which have stuck to the basics of the genre. Formed in 1992 by Nattefrost (guitar, vocals) and Nordavind (guitar, vocals), when Black Metal was still young and raw the duo soon unleashed the legendary demo tape "Bloodlust and Perversion". After the release of the second demo, "Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svarttjern", in 1993 they were signed to Avantgarde Music where they released the EP "Through Chasm, Caves And Titan Woods" in 1995. After three years of absence the band finally returned with their debut album, "Black Shining Leather", which also featured Lars Nedland on drums (under his alias Lazare), in 1998. The album was an instant hit and in 2000 they released their second album, "Strange Old Brew", which featured new members Tchort (guitar), Vrangsinn (bass) and Anders Kobro (drums).
"Morbid Fascination of Death" was released the following year and Nordavind decided to leave the band. In 2002 they released the compilation album "We're Going to Hell For This - Over a Decade of Perversions" which featured covers, live songs, new tracks and a demo track. They also signed a deal with Season of Mist and entered a studio to record a new album. The result was eventually "Defending the Throne of Evil" which was released in 2003. A DVD, "We're Going to Hollywood For This", followed in 2004 along with a new compilation album, "Skjend Hans Lik".
In 2006 they released their latest album "Fuck You All !!!!".
