Gjallarhorn is the Horn of the Ancient Scandinavian God Heimdall, in which He shall blow, having notified Gods and people about the beginning of Ragnarok — the last battle, where everything shall die — the Gods, The Giants and people.

It was Winter of 2003 — 2004, when I, Onswar, had met Helg at one of the local sessions. And so Helg offered me to create black metal band. I agreed and it was decided to find the guitarist. Having written the announcements, I placed them in several music shops, but none rang. Finally, Helg took the guitar and we started rehearsing without drums.

Helg played in many bands before, including black metal band NERGAL, which ceased to exist now.

Soon I met one guy named Dionisious, who agreed to be our guitarist. But after definite number of rehearsing it was decided to search for another one. Many other musicians came to the band, but they could not stay any longer because of different reasons.

Someone rang at last, having run by the announcement. His name was Alexander and he offered his candidature as guitarist. Soon he brought another guitarist - Demonium and left the band because of personal reasons. It was decided to name the band as GJALLARHORN approximately then. Alex (Helg's brother) was decided to be the bassist. It was the first full line-up in which GJALLARHORN played at the first time on the stage of the local festival.

It was Winter of 2004 — 2005 when the first Demo "Ancient Times" was recorded at the Onlinerecords Studio, but it was not released or distributed anywhere. The band performed several concerts including the closed ones and played in Voznesensk (Nikolaev region). Alex left the band in summer.

GJALLARHORN took part in concert named "True Metal Session" in March 2006 in Kremenchuk (Poltava region), having shared the stage with such bands as KURGAN, PARANOMIA and IROMOS. New bassist Nameless and guitarist Doomor joined the band in summer. The band performed few concerts with such line-up: "Svarogovo Kolo" festival (Sevastopol, The Crimea) (without Doomor), the concert in Kherson with such bands as DEMONIUM, KURGAN, BERZYNAS and KREST, "Total Metal Fest II" (Kremencuk, Poltava region).

Demonium left GJALLARHORN in Winter and formed with Ascold (KURGAN) the band VIRGO.

The band organized the concert in Kherson and took part in with INDENITY, VIRGO and KURGAN in February and performed the concert in Odessa with FOREST STREAM, FRAGILE ART, SOMNOLENT.

The work on the MCD "Land Of Forgotten" was finished till the end of Spring.

The band took part in Pagan Folk Metal festival "Svarogovo Kolo II" with REANIMATSIA, CHUR, SVARGA, HAGL, RUINA, THUNDERKRAFT, KRODA in August.

Russian label Yar' productions released MCD "Land Of Forgotten" in Spring.

The band performed a concert in Kherson with STORMER, KHORS, FLYING, GROMM and ENTRAILS PUTREFACTION in April. Soon after the concert Helg left the band.

The work on cover version "Woods To Eternity" for SATYRICON tribute was finished this month. The recording of new full-length album was started some time later.

The work on the album named "Awakening" was complete in December. Helg recorded parts of drums just before leaving GJALLARHORN, Onswar performed parts of piano. The work of Loup, ordered specially for "Awakening", and also photo works by Radiowave were chosen to use in album design.

Onswar took the place of drummer this year, and so the place of vocalist became vacant, at least for live concerts.

Labels Empire 606 Records and Yar Productions together released A Tribute To SATYRICON "Dominions Of Satyricon" with the participation of GJALLARHORN.

Nameless pledged himself to be guitarist and vocalist.

Ukrainian label Vacula Productions released "Awakening" in Autumn.

The line-up of GJALLARHORN filled up with new bassist — Witscher.
