Dødheimsgard (often stylized as DHG) is a Norwegian avant-garde black metal band that has become known for its highly experimental and boundary-pushing approach to extreme music. Founded in 1994, the band quickly established itself with a raw and traditional black metal sound on their debut album "Kronet Til Konge". However, it wasn't long before they began to incorporate a diverse range of influences, forging a style that was uniquely their own. By the time they released "Monumental Possession", they were already showing signs of the unorthodox approach to metal that would define their later work.

With the arrival of "666 International" in 1999, Dødheimsgard fully embraced industrial and avant-garde elements, creating a dissonant and chaotic soundscape that bewildered as much as it enthralled. This era of the band, reflected in works like "Satanic Art" and the ambitious "Supervillain Outcast", marked them as innovators in a genre known for its adherence to tradition. After a long hiatus, they returned with "A Umbra Omega" in 2015, an album that continued to push limits with its intricate compositions and conceptual depth. As their most recent offerings such as "Det Tomme Kalde Mørke" and "Black Medium Current" show, Dødheimsgard, or DHG, remains at the forefront of avant-garde black metal, unafraid to evolve and challenge the preconceptions of extreme music genres.
