originally Atrocity. We thought
that we might get into some legal
problems considering all the
other bands with the same
name. After a while we thought
that black metal was a better suit

Namtar: Black metal suits the beliefs and
ideas we've had already. It is also the best
way to deliver them to others. To us, there

The ideology of black metal steers you
away from the mainstream ideas such as
organized religion and trendy media. It
also helps one to develop own ideas and
beliefs, and become the individual.
