Transylvania, land of vampires!

Your evil shines in this unholy night!

The foolish mortals are hiding in their houses

As at this time of the year I return to this land

The vampires greet me with excitement

And we all bow down hailing the Instalment of the Night

The blue moon shines upon us and unleashes the curse

Thus giving us the power of Death

Tonight I am enthroned as the triumphant of vampires

As my servants bring me the blood of innocent virgins

The unholy ceremony begins with my speech:

"In my name tonight we'll kill! Dracula! Dracula!"

The name is also a palindrome with 7 letters. The number 7 is the number of complement. A number of time and space, representing wisdom, perfection, balance and immortality.

Nargaroth was formed from the ashes of a band called Exhuminenz in 1996 by Kanwulf, Charoon, and Darken, and the first recordings were completed in 1998 using a drum-machine. 

The alias "Kanwulf" came from a French book with old Scandinavian names, such as the more famous names like Arkwulf.

The name "Nargaroth" came from the word "Narg", as it stands for nature and Ash was strongly related to it, and Gorgoroth since Ash is a big fan of their Sorcery Written in Blood demo and Pentagram album.
