In the year 2004, short time after the warriors of Geweih had split up, the time had come for a new formation to rise from the mist, called IRRLYCHT (German for ghost light). Isegrimm (vocals & wolfish screams) and Nordger (guitars) still felt the inner urge to produce mystical and misanthropic music. Soon warriors were found to join them, called Zimurgh (bass) and Fafnir (AASKEREIA, drums).
After the first unholy rites, in which the first own songs were created, and some coverversions were played, it came to an unintentional break, which was ended in January 2006 with the recruitment of Moorgeist (WINTERTHRONE, guitars). So then, piece by piece, the tracks for the first release took form.
In August/September 2006 those tracks were recorded in the rehearsal-room and mixed in the homerecordingstudio of Moorgeist. The debut-CD “Irrlycht†was released as a limited Digipack Edition in March 2007 via Blackmoon Records.
The liveinitiation took place at the “Nacht der drohenden Schatten Festival V†and was the start for Irrlycht’s second period, because Fafnir left the band due to lack of time and his engagement in other projects (AASKEREIA).
Mighty and superior the ghost light shimmers through the fog of the forests of Heidelberg.
