From this time on, they play Black/Death Metal combined with aggression, atmosphere and melodies without using any keyboards or even female vocals – just with drums, bass and one guitar. 2003 they released their demo MCD called “Dominus Frigoris” which was a success for the band. They got very good responses and reviews and this MCD is meanwhile sold out! Nordafrost hit the stage with acts like Morrigan, Anael, Goat of Mendes, Blood, Midwinter and much more. In March 2004 they recorded their first full length album called “North Arise” which was released in late July 2004 by the small german label “Heavy Horses Records”.

Both CDs were professionally recorded in the K-Sound Studio in Hagen, Germany by Matthias Klinkmann who also recorded acts like Borknagar, Angel Dust, Darth, Therion, Insignium and many many more in the past!

Meanwhile, the „Dominus Frigoris“ MCD was spread all over the world and the some hundred CDs were sold or traded! Nordafrost are also part of many international compilations, like “The reaper comes” (GER); “Witching Black” (Can) and many more! The "North Arise" album is going to be more successful than the Demo was!

An Apocalyptic Philosophy
Nordafrost Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Infernal storms from beyond earth
Sweep away the lightened existance

A life of total darkness will follow
Without hope of seeing the light of positiveness ever again

Lightened souls change into total blackness
Like angels of death convert to satanic demons

Like robbing a maiden's juvenile innocence
Last one on earth joins the realm of eclipse

No sign of resistance

The underground swallows the surface world
The earth unites with the realms up north

A hades of the rpesent times begins its reign up north
Evil spirits meet the human mins : seed fall on fertile soil

Lightened souls change into total blackness
Like angels of death convert to satanic demons

Like robbing a maiden's juvenile innocence
Last one on earth joins the realm of eclipse

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nordafrost's "An Apocalyptic Philosophy" evoke a vision of a dark, post-apocalyptic world that is devoid of hope and light. The first set of lines, "Infernal storms from beyond earth / Sweep away the lightened existence," convey a sense of chaos and destruction caused by forces beyond human control. The storms metaphorically represent the end of hope, positivity, and everything that is good in the world.

The next two lines, "A life of total darkness will follow / Without hope of seeing the light of positiveness ever again," further heighten the sense of despair and hopelessness. There is no light at the end of the tunnel, no chance for the world to recover or rebuild itself. The succeeding set of lines describe how the once-lightened souls will change into total blackness, like angels turning into demonic figures. This transformation is symbolic of how cruel circumstances can turn even the purest people into their exact opposite.

The final lines of the song, "The underground swallows the surface world / The earth unites with the realms up north," suggest that the world will be entirely consumed by darkness and chaos. The concept of the underworld absorbing the world above it is a common theme in apocalyptic literature, symbolizing a complete destruction of the natural order. Taken together, the entire song is a bleak and haunting exploration of the darkest corners of the human psyche.
