Naer
Mataron were gathered back in the year 1994 with the aim to play
Hellenic black metal. Their lyrics are dealing with the ancient Hellenic
pantheon, with virtues such as pride and honor drawn from periods and
heroes of European history.
After
the release of the promo tape “The Great God Pan”, they released their
debut album “Up from the Ashes” on Black Lotus Recs.This ...successful
release is followed by the “Skotos Aenaon”, “River at Dash Scalding”
and “Discipline Manifesto” albums, each one driving Naer Mataron one
step further into the exploration of true black metal.
Throughout
their 17 year history, they have shared the stage with significant
bands, such as Mayhem, Rotting Christ, Dissection, Gorgoroth, Arcturus,
Dodheimsgard, participated in big festivals and headlined several
successful shows. In this period most of their albums have been
re-released on several editions, along with some cult 7” ep releases.
In
the Spring of 2007, Naer Mataron traveled to Oslo, Norway and entered
the studio to record "Praetorians"... The spawn of Naer Mataron's unholy
alliance with the notorious mr. Vicotnik from DHG (Vocals &
production), is something more than the 5th album of one of the most
respected Hellenic hordes: it is actually their most extreme, fast and
uncompromising work to date! Release date set for May 2008.
The
year 2009 comes along with a new ambitious drummer for the band. The
demons call him Asmodeus Draco Dux, and with him dominating the drum kit,
they joined Jarboe on the "Mother of Changes" European Tour. Shortly
after, they flied to South America for their first headline tour
"Apocalypse of the Ancient One".
The
newfound chemistry created by Indra and Asmodeus Draco Dux urges the
band into a more brutal direction, so Kaiadas seizes the opportunity to
lead the band into the paths of death. Naer Mataron, having found new
comradeship in the ranks of Witching Hour Prod, glorify death and unveil
him as something that peaks with birth and ceases in death. ΖΗΤΩ Ο
ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ (LONG LIVE DEATH) , The apocalypse begins in 2012...
