Urgehal is a Norwegian black metal band that has established itself as a formidable presence in the extreme metal scene. They were formed in 1992 by guitarist Trondr Nefas and drummer Uruz in the small town of Hønefoss. The group became known for their raw sound, grim lyrical themes, and their unwavering commitment to the black metal genre's aesthetics and ethos. Urgehal's music is characterized by its aggressive riffing, relentless drumming, and a dark, atmospheric undertone that captures the coldness of their Norwegian roots.

Over the years, Urgehal has released a series of albums that have secured their legacy within the metal community. Some of their most recent works include "Aeons in Sodom" (2016), a tribute album to founding member Trondr Nefas, who passed away in 2012, demonstrating the band's resilience and dedication to their craft. Prior to this, "Ikonoklast" (2009) served as a powerful testament to the band's harsh and uncompromising sound. Other noteworthy releases include "Rise of the Monument" (2009), which showcases live recordings, "Goatcraft Torment" (2006), and "Atomkinder" (2001), both unapologetically upholding the band's fierce and raw black metal style. Urgehal’s impact on the Norwegian black metal scene remains influential, and their music continues to be celebrated by fans of the genre for its authenticity and ferocity.
