Bornholm is a pagan metal band that was founded in Budapest in 2000 .

history

Named after the Danish island of Bornholm , the band was founded by Ferenc Olajos, Vesanus, Astaroth, Mordan and Melkor. In the beginning they were very much based on their idols Bathory , but also symphonic Black Metal , like that of Dimmu Borgir . In 2001 they recorded their first demo Awakening of the Ancient Ones EP . After a few line-up changes, they released their debut album On the Way of the Hunting Moon in 2005 , in which only the guitarist Astaroth was there from the original line-up.

After touring Europe with the bands Arcturus , Mayhem and Enslaved , they released their second album March for Glory and Revenge in 2009 . Since so much time had passed during the first two albums, the band was already working on the follow-up album during the tour to the album, which was only released in January 2013 and is called Inexorable Defiance . In 2013 they also went on the Paganfest European tour together with Alestorm , Arkona , Ex Deo , Varg , Kalmah , Wolfchant and Thyrfing .
