About Me
OTARGOS was founded in Bordeaux (France) during the summer of 2001 by DAGOTH and R.F. LORD MYSTERIUM. They were rapidly joined by XXX. One year later, after several performances, the band produced their first demo, “CONQUERORS, CONQUEROS… DESTROYERSâ€, a 4-track pure-black-metal CD. KERNUUN joined OTARGOS as a 2nd guitarist, thus bringing new dimensions and more power to the band’s music.
In 2003, OTARGOS performed with such bands as BELENOS, ENTHRONED, MALLEUS MALEFICARUM, SETH or YATTERING. The same year, OTARGOS recorded their second release, “CODEX-666, INFERNAL LEGIONS STRIKE†and got a contract with DEADSUN RECORDS label.
The band welcomed ARKHAMIAN in 2004 to replace LORD MYSTERIUM. OTARGOS has now found its style: raw, powerful and unholy Black Metal, with no female vocals or keyboards.
2005, Otargos recorded their first full lenght album “TEN-EYED NEMESISâ€, at the CONKRETE STUDIO and got a contract with RUPTURE MUSIC (a division of SEVERAL BLEEDS RECORDS).
KERNUUN left OTARGOS and ASTAROTH joined the horde as the new guitarist.
2006, “SPAWN FROM THE ABYSS†was spawned featuring a re-edtion of “CONQUERORS...†and “ CODEX-666 ..†(both sold-out) and bonus materials .
2007, OTARGOS recorded the album“KINETIC ZEROâ€, exploring diferent musical horizons. a destructive sonic outburst plunging matter, time and space in total chaos.
ARKAMIAN left the band, now RANCO (Artefact & S.U.E.) play drums with OTARGOS
OTARGOS does not intend neither to create a new B.M. style nor to bring the speediest or the most brutal black metal assault. OTARGOS battles to make the flame of black metal burn still, and create a personal modern pounding powerful music.
As OTARGOS is a “live†band, the list of shows performed (with DARK FUNERAL for instance) are everlasting growing.
OTARGOS brandishes the blade of destruction and Chaos. The philosophy is based on cosmology and atheism, the un-existence of life or death, the concept front of the quantum world, position and weakness of humanity and the fractal particularity of multiverse and dimensions. NO GOD CREATED US... WE CREATED GODS.
OTARGOS is currently writing the future album, that will be presented during 2009 ... more brutal ,more Black metal, more sombre than ever... a Live DVD is also on process...
