1995: The band was formed by Kjetil Hektoen and Gunnhild Bratset in their home town of Sunndalsøra, Norway. The purpose was to perform atmospheric music in the guise of black metal. After a relocation to the capital of Oslo, the band continued rehearsing and developing their music.
1996: The band, having now taken the name Enthral, recorded their first demo with a session bass player in the month of March this year. “Demo 1996” was primitively recorded on a 4-track portastudio and released in an extremely limited number. Following a summer of much rehearsing, the band recorded the track “Awaiting the Rise of the Forestgod” in August. Some days later, a video recording of this track took place, though it has never been officially released. The audio track nevertheless appeared on the Hot Records compilation CD “The Rape of the Holy Trinity” in 1997.
1997: Enthral was offered a recording deal by Hot Records and recruited bassist Martin Rafoss as a permanent member and integral part of the band.

In the following months, the band grew, obtaining a second guitarist; Espen Simonsen (ex-The Flesh), as well as a keyboardist, Stian Aarstad (ex-Dimmu Borgir). « hide |
