After the release of Pandemonium , the band changed their name to Battle. Battle recorded the demo End of Life , which contained only one 11-minute song of the same name; shortly afterwards Ravn Harjar (not Ravn from Mysticum ) became a member of the band. After the release and the departure of the original guitarist, the band renamed themselves to Strid.

meaning

Strid is one of the lesser known Norwegian black metal bands. However, René "Kanwulf" Wagner's band from the German one-man project Nargaroth was often mentioned in interviews and a passage from End of Life in the title track of the Nargaroth album Black Metal ist Krieg - A Dedication Monument was adopted. It was criticized that Wagner did not mention this.

Likewise, the band is received in a current of Black Metal, whose texts, aesthetics and demeanor revolve around topics such as suicide , depression , self-mutilation and self-harming behavior , and is considered to be one of its founders. Well-known representatives of this movement, which is summarized under the term " Depressive Black Metal " (DBM), include Shining and Abyssic Hate , whose music is influenced by bands such as Manes and Burzum and the German dark metal band Bethlehem as well as Strid .
