Icey Past The whole idea of Frosthardr was created during a walk through a blizzard night in January 1997. Jokull (now: Ravn) wanted to start an extreme metal band, based on black metal. In March 97, he gathered some friends and started to compose some metal noise. In the beginning, Dr. E did the vocals and Jokull played the bass. But the band met a lot of problems finding the right members, so the first years were all about searching for the right ones.
