3 min read

1.First of all, tell us the history of “Black Winter”

Demonith: Black Winter created in the summer of 2000 from
Astrous(goatthroat, mysticism kyes), Gasgorth(axe of hell), Atheist(axe of
chaos), Demonith(battery) and Zephyrus(axe of death).In September of 2001 we  recorded our first demo “The Spells of Black Winter” with three guitars and  without bass. In April of 2002 we released the second demo “A Dark Echo from  the Demoniacal Hell of Lucifer”.This time with three guitars and bass.The  bass player called Stormer. After that Zephyrus and Stomrer left the band and we found an other bass player. He was Zachos, the guitarist of Jackal’s Truth. We make with him one live and after that retired from the band.Now we find a new bass player that is called Victor Imperator.
