Fornost Arnor

Founding member Greg Chivers established Fornost Arnor in November 2005. In January 2006, recording of the first EP In Darkness We Rise commenced, with the help of newly recruited members, York Street and Jeremy J. Elvin. The bands style in the early days was more akin to a traditional symphonic black metal sound. Only the one show was performed with this line-up at the Colchester Arts Centre, with the addition of Jay Price performing drum duties and the EP never made it to official release. Due to Greg’s relocation in 2006, the band temporally disbanded.
