Ofermod is a Swedish black metal band esteemed for its significant contributions to the orthodox black metal movement. The band was formed in 1996 by guitarist Michayah Belfagor (formerly known as Belfagør) whose vision for the project was deeply entwined with themes of religious and spiritual darkness. They are known for incorporating mystical and thelemic elements into their music, which is characterized by a raw and melodic sound that maintains an atmosphere of occult devotion and embodies the metaphysical rebellion inherent in the genre.

Ofermod's discography, while not extensive, is impactful within the black metal community. "Thaumiel" (2012) marked their full-length debut release, an album that explored Kabbalistic themes and showcased a mature incarnation of the band's intense aural and ideological aesthetic. They continued this trajectory with "Sol Nox" (2017), further refining their sound and ideology, and maintaining their status as a revered name in the scene. Their most recent releases, such as "Pentagrammaton" and "Mysterium Iniquitatis" are testament to their enduring legacy and commitment to the esoteric underpinnings of their music. With these works, including "Drakonian Elitism" and "Agios Ischyros Belial," Ofermod stand as a formidable force in the world of black metal, their compositions serving as liturgical passages into the shadowy realms of their creation.
