There are two Norwegian bands called Helheim. There is also a German Helheim, who released just one demo in 1995 and split-up afterwards. The first Norse Helheim, founded in 1992 and disbanded in 1996, played industrial black metal and released three records: the 1994 demo "Helheim", the 1995 demo "Walpurgisnatt" and the 1996 EP "Fenris" The story of the second (more famous) Helheim also started in 1992, when V'gandr and H'grimnir had the mutual idea of creating extreme metal music.
