Hyrgal was formed in 2007 by guitarist/vocalist Clément Flandrois (Pillars, Oorthian, ex-Svart Crown) with the help of Quentin Aberne (Carcolh, ex-Sun Preachers, ex-Marble Chariot) on bass and Thibault Meunier (ex-Otargos) behind the drums.
They release their first Demo on a split album shared with Kairn (acoustic project of the former Otargos guitarist, Julien Savy). The combo will open for live performances of bands such as Wolves in the Throne Room, Year of No Light, Otargos...
Then the band will be put on hold in 2010 for personnal reasons and Clément will join Svart Crown as a full time guitarist.
In 2016, Clément decides to relaunch the project with a new drummer with whom he got closer since 2012, Emmanuel Zuccaro (Oorthian, ex-Karne, ex-Sulphureign),
and still Quentin on bass.
