| Band biography |
Meanwhile Melech's main guitarist and Sunless started a project called "Satyr". It was based on the unholy Dark Throne/Burzum atmosphere. Sunless played the drums and did the second vocals in this piece of black metal art. They only made a recording on CD-R for themselves and it was never to be released. Because of problems with the main guitar player both bands abandoned the scene. Nevertheless, in 1997, Sunless, Eclipse and Demster re-started the black metal tyranny again under a new name, SauroN. Eventually (one handed drummer) Ludas joined the band. From this moment SauroN started producing furious black metal, the way it should be played, raw and without compromise. Only one goal was set, and this was to be the most violent and fastest Black Metal band from the Netherlands.
Anno 1999, SauroN released the Christ-crushing Demo tape 'DEATH.. TYRANNY.. WAR.. BLASPHEMY'. Only 100 copies were made (Recorded and mixed at Double Noise studios Tilburg), who were received quite well in the underground and a very few concerts followed. In the meantime Eclipse started playing the 2nd guitar, besides singing, to create a fuller sound. Within eight months after the release of the demotape SauroN entered the Double Noise studio again to record four new songs.
The result of these recordings became the with hatefilled four track official mCD "TRUE HATE EMBODIMENT", which is a declaration of war to all those who belong to the human race. [It's officially released by SauroN, limited to 500 copies world-wide. Mastered at Harrow Studios (Losser, NL)]. True Hate Embodiment resulted in a mini-tour with Carpathian Forest, Destroyer666 and Urn through the Netherlands (2001). Opening No Mercy 2002, playing in Germany with Immolation, Destroyer666, Decapitated, Deranged and Soul Demise and also many words of praise in the worldwide press. This resulted in a deal with USA based 'Dark Horizon Records'.
In 2003, the release of the first Full-length: 'UNIVERSE OF FILTH', on Dark Horizon Records is a fact. (Recorded, mixed & mastered at Excess studios [Rotterdam, NL]). Releasedate: 13th of February 2003. This CD immediately resulted in an exclusive gig with Satyricon and Khold at the Groene Engel venue (NL) on the 15th of february 2003. On the 12th of August 2003 'True Hate Embodiment' was re-released by Macabre Operetta productions from Holland on 7" vinyl. This item has new artwork and will also be limited. (333 pcs.)
In 2004 SauroN signed a new deal with Dutch 'Neurotic Records'. The new full-length will be titled 'For a Dead race', and is scheduled for release 21-10-2004. This will be the 'blackest and sickest' release so far. In July 2004 a cover from the almighty Bathory namely 'The rite of Darkness', from the album 'The Return...' was recorded for the tribute LP 'A Tribute From the Hordes to Bathory-From the Underground...For the Underground.', to be released on Black Goat Productions later in 2005.
