Biography
Argar is a, now defunct, Black metal band from Barcelona, Spain. Active between 1996 and 2004, they produced 3 albums: The Flame of Dark Creation (1997), Cwm Annwn (2001) and Grim March to Black Eternity (2004).
The band maintained a Pagan ideology throughout their existence, although their lyrics mostly deal with Death, hatred and negativity. Musically, Argar are often favourably compared to earlier Emperor, playing a highly symphonic style of Black Metal with raw, highly distorted guitars, fast drumming and a mix of rasping and high pitched shrieking vocals. They seldom received any press attention, however they were often praised for their varied songs and highly atmospheric style.
