Alvheim

Welcome to the official Russian Black Metal band website. Alvheim was founded in 2005 by Alvar who was inspired by Old Norse mythology and music of Norwegian Black Metal bands of the 90's like Darkthrone, Burzum, Satyricon, Enslaved etc. The name Alvheim was taken from Old Norse "Alfheimr" which means "Home of the Elves" - the one of the Nine Worlds in pagan Scandinavian universe, inhabited by the elves. After some line-up changes Alvar decided to compose and record music on his own, thus in 2009 the first Alvheim record was released through Gardarika Musikk label. It was titled "I Et Fjort Fortid" featuring 5 tracks in Norwegian. 

In 2011 Alvheim became a duo with James Heugen on bass-guitar. Soon after Alvheim started participating in various Black Metal compilations and recording some cover songs. The most significant thing at that time was the release of international tribute compilation to the memory of Urgehal's Trondr Nefas through the own label Imago Mortis Productions.

    And now it’s time to present our last recording for this year. This is Beastcraft’s Blackwinged Messiah of Blasphemy. We had a very busy year, and it was very productive. We jumped above our heads in every respect. We took part in a tribute compilation to Burzum in May, started our own label Imago Mortis Productions and released an international compilation in memory of Trondr Nefas and certainly got good support from Regina Kozlik, Ina Helmers, Negativ von Plaag, Sorath Northgroove. Thank you and everyone else for the spreading blackness across the web. KEEP THE FLAME OF BLACK METAL! \m/

    Alvar and James H.
