A few weeks later one human being called „Shaitan - the Interfector" met the band - and took the bass. Later a new rhythm-guitarist was found. "Short" joined and they had a complete line-up: „Farago" - lead guitar & vocals, „Shadow" - vocals, „A.Huerni" - drums, „Shaitan - the Interfector" - bass and „Short" - rhythm guitar. In summer 1993 „Farago" renamed the project to „DARK IMPLORE". But in summer 1994 (just 3 weeks before the now legendary KULT-FESTIVAL) destiny struck again. „A.Huerni" and „Short" turned their backs to them and left. So „Shadow" had to learn all songs on drums within 3 weeks! He did it, but before they changed their name to „WARGOD". After a few very successful gigs in the nearer area in summer 1995 „WARGOD" got a new member called „Akinakes", who is the new lead vocalist up to now. The band’s name also changed into „ANCIENT WARGOD". This satanic fourpiece recorded its first demotape in late summer 1995 called „In A Blackened Sky" containing six tracks with 27 minutes of brutal and powerful Black Metal.
In early spring 1996 „Bileeam" joined the band as the new drummer instead of „Shadow", who had to do military service. With „Bileeam" their music developed more in a darker and faster direction.
A short "Promo"-Demotape (limited to 100 hand-numbered copies) was released and sold-out within 3 weeks to give fans an insight about what Bileeam was able to do with Ancient Wargod's Songmaterial.
On August 5th-7th 1996, they moved into the OUT-O-SPACE - Studio in Goettingen to record the awaited second demotape, "The Arrival of the dark Lords". It contains 5 Songs with 27 minutes of "Evil Majestic Black Metal".
After recording and releasing the tape, Shaitan left the band, because of musical differences with the others. He was replaced by Martyr, a long-time friend of the band.
In February 1997, Ancient Wargod wanted to release a picture-EP (containing the songs "When Darkness rises..." and "Ancient Wargod"), but while in the studio, a record label (BrainPain) kindly asked them to start writing material for a whole CD.
Under this pressure, they managed to re-arrange several older songs morphing them into Songs that fit the new drummers abilities.
In May 1997, "When Darkness rises..." was released.
A short Tour supporting "Mystic Circle" and "Gorgoroth" on the german leg of their Tour, replacing "Aura Noir" was the last public life-sign of Ancient Wargod.
Differences about the musical development forced them to go separated ways. Farago and Bileeam went on writing and rehearsing Progressive-Metal Music, while Akinakes went to an underground Radio-Station promoting Death/Blackmetal Bands.
Insane
Ancient Wargod Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
eyes scan my brain
I can fell the pain
that runs through your veins
I am insane
blood froms a stain
a body on the lane
I am insane
I am insane
I am insane
tried to obtain
to spill blood in the rain
that delivers me from vanity
I am insane
I can see your disdain
obscene laughes inside my brian
laughing at you `cause i will remain
The lyrics of Ancient Wargod's song "Insane" depict the thoughts and feelings of a dangerous, psychopathic individual who revels in causing pain and taking lives. The repetitive use of the phrase "I am insane" reinforces the singer's self-awareness of their madness, and their belief that their actions are justified. The line "eyes scan my brain" suggests that the character is constantly scrutinizing their own thought processes, perhaps in an attempt to better understand their own motivation or to identify potential victims.
The second verse contains some particularly chilling imagery, as the singer describes a murder they have committed: "blood forms a stain / a body on the lane / my victim lies dead in the rain." The implication here is that the killing was a spontaneous act, carried out in public without any attempt to hide or escape. The line "laughing at you 'cause I will remain" suggests that the singer enjoys the feeling of power that their killings give them, and that they have no intention of being caught or stopped.
Overall, the lyrics of "Insane" paint a disturbing picture of a violent and unpredictable individual whose actions are driven by a profound mental illness. The repetition of the phrase "I am insane" serves to emphasize the character's self-destructive tendencies, and the tone of the song is confrontational and unsettling.
