Norwegian black metal band Hades Almighty was formed in 1992 by Janto Garmanslund (vocals/bass/keyboards), J?rn Inge Tunsberg (guitar/keyboards), Stig Hagenes (guitar), and Remi (drums), and has since released a string of independent releases dedicated to the form's more primal, gothic and atavistic pursuits. These include 1994's ...Again Shall Be, 1996's Alone Walkyng EP, 1997's The Dawn of the Dying Sun, 1999's Millenium Nocturne, and 2001's The Pulse of Decay -- the last of which was recorded sans the recently departed Hagenes.
