The Saga thus far...

Urgrund…an ancient, indomitable force knowing neither boundary nor peer, realised and unleashed through the medium of destructively heavy, war thrash, with roots in Old German Death, Black metal and the traditional metal style. Ideologically Urgrund exalts heathen irreverence and defiance in all its forms: barbarism and the glorification of destruction/war (essential to rebirth and evolution). Lyrical topics include the studies of historic facts, Antichristian-ism, survival of the fittest, heathenism, existence, philosophy, war/death, classic fire and brimstone stuff, secret societies etc. The aggressive Music blend with strong parts in subject matter and intergrity is what moulded this band …This is what separates the band from oh so many concept bands that stagnate...

Urgrund was founded in the year 1998 by Bolthorn. Members joined to combine something to defy trends and shred some heavy power chordz. The demo recording "In Apocalyptic Ruins...A Rebirth" was released in 1999 and is no longer available, "Warlore" 7" EP was recorded in July 1999 (Bleed Records, limited. to 200), (RHFiendsickness joins to handle second guitar and vocal parts)."Drenched In Blood" MCD was recorded/mixed June 2000 (French label Spikekult Records, limited 500 copies), brings the first two years of Urgrund together, containing the four tracks from the 7" as well as a re-recording of the demo's malicious title track. Urgrund rounded up 2000 with the recording of their debut full-length album, "The Graven Sign" (released February 2002 on Baphomet Records), taking both the raw, beserker aggression and anthemic war marches in one. Live dates alongside some of Australia’s extreme acts served to reinforce Urgrund's reputation as one of the most destructive and heaviest bands.

which features the now Melbourne line-up, and  The "Battle Skin 7" EP was produced 2003. for the now Cult label Invictus Ireland, This features a Sodom cover, Ausgebombt… “Unchangeable Fate”, the second full-length is released in June 2005, and was recorded November/December 2004. This being another monumental effort of thrashin’ black/death inspired in yer fist metal...consisting of dark elements and war torn imagery/disaster.
