Dødheimsgard

Dødheimsgard

Dødheimsgard (now known as DHG) was originally a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1994, but 1999's 666 International saw them change into an experimental and Avant-garde/Industrial metal band. In 2000, they shortened their name to DHG. During 2003, they went through some lineup changes, replacing Aldrahn, Zweizz and Czral.

"Dødheimsgard" is a conjunction of three words: Død which means 'death', heim which means 'home' and gard which means (at least in this context) 'mansion'. A natural translation into English would be "Mansion of Death", alternatively Realm of the Dead/Death.

In 2006, they completed the new album Supervillain Outcast, which was released in April 2007 by Moonfog Productions and The End Records.

On January 4th 2008, it was announced that vocalist Kvohst had left the band.
