Sus Scrofa - Biography


Biography

Founded in 1991, Sus Scrofa is one of the two first french pagan black metal bands (alongside Prophecy), with strong animistic approach. Emerging from the Pyrenees, the music was described as pyrenean pagan metal in the honor of our powerful and mystical mountains. Influenced by the mystical, animistic strength of the deeps woods and the grandiose charm of the Pyrénées, the band develop on a short period a kind of dark, epic, raw & mystic metal.

The band record its first demo/rehearsal in 1991 called ''Master Of Nightly Forest ''(unpublished) , a second one 'De Paganus' (unpublished) in 1992. Then, in 1993, 'Dins Ech Cel d'Asteartia', sold more than 600 copies over the world. Mixing early 90's black metal, traditional metal & folkloric influences, the demo is considered as a typical dark pagan metal piece or, as said 'a fine piece of unconventional pagan metal'.

In 1992, the group has a contract proposal with Embassy Productions (french label) who published such albums as Gogoroth's first album.

The group splits in 1994. Fagus & Aherbelste co-found Stille Volk then the same year.

In February 2015, Sus Scrofa is back with four new songs as a new demo titled 'Sinistre Silve'.
