In March 2005, Myst(vocals) and Likfrost (guitar) decided to form a band of their own. Then Skhol (drums) Wyrd (guitar) and Svartand (bass) came along and the lineup was complete.
That was the beginning of it all. They chose the band’s name together : “Naastrand”.
According to Norse Mythology, those who die without honour are struck by death and suffering in that gloomy place. The band deals with the dark aspects of Scandinavian Mythology and with some old forgotten legends.
Naastrand then spent two years composing and working on their songs. All their efforts were finally rewarded since, after encountering a few problems, their first demo entitled “Funeral Moon” and limited to 200 copies eventually came out. The critics are encouraging for a first attempt.
In 2007, Kasvain (keyboards) decided to join the horde. In 2008, Svartand left the band for personal reasons, and Nidhogg came aboard as the band’s new bassist.
Once the lineup was complete and stable, and after years of work, Naastrand began performing it’s first live gigs.
Since then, they have already had the opportunity to play with bands such as Svartblut, Blodhemn, Funeral Holocaust, and to perform before Moonsorrow, Tyr, Eluveitie, Korpiklaani and Ensiferum at the Paganfest festival in the Z7 (Pratteln, CH).
At the present time Naastrand is working on new songs for its upcoming album, to take over from “Funeral Moon”.
We have played with:
Ensiferum, Korpiklaani, Moonsorrow, Eluveitie, Tyr, Nirnaeth, Malleus Maleficarum, Kult, Malevolentia, Heol Telwen, Silva Nigra, Nathan, Evohe, Cainan Dawn, Stormcrow, Blodhemn, Svartblut, Funeral Holocaust...
Excellent ! Il n'en resterais pas quelques un en M à tout hasard ? (oui je sais je suis une fillette !) Sinon un xl fera l'affaire. Je suis sur Hagana les week end, donc je te tiens au jus, merci !

Enorme !! Juste enorme ! Hell Militia c'est vraiment trop bon en live ! noir, violent, macabre et malsain ! Ils ont vraiment assuré ! pour le reste, du bon et du moins bon
Deux écoutes un peu distraites de votre partie du split en voiture et certains riffs ont bien retenu mon attention (trois actuellement) mais je suis loin d'avoir fini de digérer le tout.
