Drottnar
Drottnar is a Christian extreme metal band from Fredrikstad, Norway. Formed in 1996, the band has released three albums, Spiritual Battle (2000), Welterwerk (2006), and Stratum, and an EP titled Anamorphosis (2003). The first album was released on UK label Plankton Records. They are currently signed to Swedish label Endtime Productions (Extol, Antestor, Crimson Moonlight).
Drottnar is the plural (sing. Drottinn, Norwegian "Drott") of an Icelandic word for master, ruler or king. Originally adopting a Viking image, the band is currently known for their peculiar thematics and live shows where they use military uniforms reminiscent of the Soviet style.
History
The band was originally formed under the name Vitality in 1996 by four Lind siblings: vocalist Sven-Erik Lind, guitarist-keyboardist Karl Fredrik Lind, drummer Glenn-David Lind, and bassist Bjarne Peder Lind. They recorded their first two demos at X-Ray Studios. The first one, titled Doom of Antichrist, was released in May 1996.
In 1998, the name was changed to Drottnar and a demo titled A White Realm was recorded in September.

Welterwerk
by: DrottnarTHE DEATH CONCEPT
Smack your own pride
Treat it with disgust
When looking in the eyes
Of our borrowed time
Strip down to the basics
Of your own soul
And think
LIFE IN ESSENCE
Sense a limit
To what's accepted
Char the barriers
To certainty
Search beneath ideas
Indoctrinated as logic in common
There will be answers
And you'll find
Turn your egos the fist
And the enemy your other cheek
Cease entertaining
Them
Cause that's what they want
Cause they're not unique
In their false individualism
But you're canvas
And so are they
Triumph Standardization
No one is a redeemer
But the one who is
Pity attempts for
Self-salvation
As we're intended
Acronyms for Messiah
In pattern, in union
A prime loom
Of life in essence
WE ALL SCHLEP
This is just a glimpse before our eyes
Watch how the ants are working
Come Armageddon!
