In 2005 Florian Kunde (gui./voc.), Sven Martinek (drums), Slava Giebel (gui.) and David Schenk (bass) founded the Metal band ?The Alphes" in Hagenow / Mecklenburg-Western Pommerania.

At first everyone started to put his musical influences into music. What followed was a mix of different styles of Metal. In autumn 2006 David decided to left the band because of personal reasons and Clemens Thieke take over the place on bass guitar. They changed their name into ?Strydegor" and found their right music style - Viking Metal. The name Strydegor is derived from a nordic warrior. On 15th of March 2008 they released their first demo album titled ?Legends of Midgard" on a concert with bavarian Pagan-Metal band Wolfchant.

On 31st of october 2008 a 4-song EP ?Midwinter's Eve" followed. 2008 was a year of many concerts too, e.g. in Berlin, Frankfurt Oder, Annaberg-Buchholz, Stralsund, Greifswald or Kiel.

At the end of the year 2008 Strydegor signed a record deal with austrian record label ?CCP-Records". The first record is planned for spring 2009.

Strydegor is a non-political thinking and acting band and dissociates from political and radical ideologies!
