Nargaroth is a one man black metal project from Germany formed by Kanwulf in 1989 without a name. In 1991 he recorded a demo called "Orke". According to some sources Kanwulf then killed someone at a live show where he used session musicians. In 1993 he was released from jail and decided to name his project Nargaroth. He then recorded a new demo entitled "Herbstleyd", according to himself naked and on drugs in his own kitchen. This led to a record deal with No Colours Records.
