Biography:
Svarrogh - that's the name of the ancient slavian God of the
domestic Fires and the Sun - is the soloproject of Dimo Dimov (who is also
playing drums in 'Hatred Divine'), a Bulgarian living in Germany who has
founded Svarrogh in the summer of 2001. Since
October 2001 until Juni 2002 there have been recorded 4 rehearsal demos,
Svarrogh Demo 2001, Skryb, Potoceta Nemirni and Slavonic Tears and several
unreleased Songs and EPs. The Slavonic Tears Promo got some more or less
positive reviews in several German magazines. In the autumn of 2002 the
Recording Sessions of 15 songs for the first full-lenght Promo Album Baxas
Xebesheth 1883 started, so finally it could be released in the beginning
of the year 2003 under the banner of Dimos small underground-distribution
"Xebesheth Distro".
In July 2003 a Split-CDR was released with the Lithuanian Band "Ravenclaw"
(now "Folkearth") on Atlantida Productions. AMF Production from Bulgaria
also showed interest to distribute Svarrogh in Bulgaria. The next release
was a Split Tape with Svarrogh and "Viszeral"
(German old school Black Metal feat. Dimo on guitars). Dimo is responsible
for the whole songwriting as well as for the instrumental performance. You
can say, that the song arrangements of Baxas Xebesheth 1883 are a new
construction of all music arrangements of all old Demos. However, this is
the first official Release of Svarrogh.
The first Live gig of Svarrogh was played at
a small festival in Rosenheim in the first months of 2004 (Trümmernacht
Metalfest) with "Burden of Grief" and "Equilibrium".
After this very successful gig the next Album Lady Vitosha could be
recorded and was firstly selfreleased in March 2004. In the late summer of
2004, Medusa Productions from Germany has released Lady Vitosha with 500
copies. Khaosmaster Rec. also has released this Album under license with
500 copies in the USA and South America. Legatus Records from Switzerland
will also take the Album under license. Now there are many copies all over
the world in Trader's hands, at least even in Japan.
The next Output will be released in Winter 2004. It's a triple Split CDR
with "Uruk-Hai" (Dark Ambient from Austria) and "The Rubixx Project"
(Experimental music from bassist of Hatred Divine) participating on it.
There are two brand new tracks including only dark and emotional NeoFolk
and Ambient.
These Tracks will be also on the next release of
Svarrogh called "Bolgaryan Art" - an EP including 4 Songs of
Emotional Folk Ambient, limited to 200 copies worldwide.
The music of Svarrogh is Bitov Bulgarian NeoFolk Black/Death Metal with
many elements of other music styles. The term Bitov is given because of
the ancient, folklore topics within the music. Bitov can be translated as
"Old, homeland music, traditional, folklore, bulgarian mountain
life-style". The bulgarian music elements are shown by the Kaval Flute and
by the Kaba Gaida (bulgarian Bagpipe). Most guitar arrangements and also
some songstructures are influenced by typical bulgarian folklore
arrangements.
