Raven Dark is a part of the Blazebirth Hall circle hailing
from Russia and is the project of Ulv Gegner Irminsson
with contributions by Kaldrad (Branikald). In 2000 Ulv
decided to abandon Raven Dark and work on a new
project called Wotansjolv, which is as yet unreleased. Ulv
also contributed to other Blazebirth Hall bands, namely
Vargleide and Forest and also formed a band outside the
circle known as Velimor.
On the tragic night of October 23rd 2005 Ulv Gegner
Irminsson was stabbed to death by an anti NS fanatic
and Raven Dark was over forever. Future plans by Stellar
Winter records to honour Ulv’s memory include releases
of up to now unavailable early demos from Raven Dark
and possible releases of Asagott which is the name Ulv
later changed Raven Dark to.
