Can you give us information about band? When is it established and what have you done so far?
The band have founded by Varvar and Old Man on January, 7th, 2008, at this day we rehearsedour first song the Hunger of the Fallen, about vampires, as a result we have left it on the album as memory of the beginning. Later we were defined with a name of our group, taking it from Varvar’s Black-metal project – Neron to which have added Greek word – Kaisar. Taking the main idea of the Neron’s legend, we have defined with the further direction of our way and development. In April 2009 we have decided to test the forces in studio and demos Exilis have written down, it has turned out raw and not absolutely corresponded to our desires, later, the same year we have sat down for record ЕР – a disk «Magnum Incendium» which we presented on organized by our band the first Black–metal festival in our native city on April, 4th 2010 in day of Easter. During the period since autumn 2008 and till April of 2010 presentations of ours ЕР, we acted at various festivals.
