Tartaros is a Norwegian symphonic black metal project formed in 1995 by multi-instrumentalist Charmand Grimloch (best known as a live keyboardist for Emperor). The band's work stands as a distinct and eccentric staple of the second wave of Norwegian black metal, defined by a deep focus on a grim, theatrical, and monumental atmosphere. Tartaros' music balances high-speed, aggressive guitar assaults with intricate, majestic orchestral arrangements reminiscent of dark gothic horror soundtracks. It remains a cinematic, mystical, and uncompromising journey into the depths of the ancient underworld, marking a vital chapter in the history of classic symphonic black metal.
