Founded in the year 1993 by Nag and guitarist Berserk with Draugluin joining soon after, TSJUDER quickly established a strong reputation within the underground scene through their first EPs 'Throne of the Goat' (1997) and 'Atum Nocturnem' (1999), which was originally conceived as a demo. The Norwegians' debut album "Kill for Satan" (2000) created general attention and critical acclaim that was strongly enhanced by the following releases "Demonic Possession" (2002) and "Desert Northern Hell" (2004).
Tsjuder crawled up from beneath anno 1993. Their intention was to create the rawest form of Black Metal, and continue that for the lifetime of the band. The first official demo tape was released in 1995 with Nag, Draugluin and Berserk in the line-up. From that point on the band has had lots of line-up changes, but Nag and Draugluin have always been part of the band. Nag and Draugluin have also been the main composers of the music, which has led to their distinctive sound.
The permanent line-up came with Anti-Christian joining in 2000. Anti-Christian was temporarily replaced by Jontho in 2002 because Anti-Christian led of heavy tendinitis in both his arms. Anti-Christian recovered, and re-joined the band in 2003.
In December 2005 Tsjuder held its last concert, and because of a variety of reasons the band was put on ice.
What only a handful of people knew was that Tsjuder started playing together again in 2009. Nag and Draugluin had gained lots of new inspiration to make a new album, and “Legion Helvete” was created, it became obvious that they had honed their songwriting to razor sharp perfection since splitting up after the release of their live DVD 'Norwegian Apocalypse' in 2006.
The venomous and vicious throat rendering by bassist Nag and guitarist Draugluin entwines with thorny, relentlessly driving riffs and an infernal rhythmical ice storm unleashed by drummer Anti-Christian over majestic melodies. When the Norwegians returned with 'Legion Helvete' (2011).
Now TSJUDER return with an impressive demonstration that they are still growing stronger and the hellishly fierce masterpiece 'Antiliv', which the band modestly describes as "raw and uncompromising black metal".
TSJUDER deliver Norwegian Black Metal in the classic raw and rattling style, yet without ever giving in to the temptation of wallowing in nostalgia. On their fifth full-length 'Antiliv' not a single note has to be dyed black, because the roots that are clearly showing are all glistening with the abyssal musical non-colour pioneered by BATHORY, CELTIC FROST, and VENOM as well as those Northern masters MAYHEM, DARKTHRONE, and EMPEROR.
