    In all ages, men have been inclined to settle dispute by means of violence. Avatars of this aggression undoubtedly became necessity. The birth of NAR MATTARU cannot be fully explained. Upon an informal alliance (2005): Zuugruft, Yorsh, and Xandregg (all ex-OBSCENUM) by the will of Chaos created and sacrificed by their own whims. The standards of black metal meant little to this trio, although many attempts were made to pay homage to the old ways. NAR MATTARU produced many songs with little or no preparation -- a truly unique brand of improvisational black metal. Unfortunately for all involved, nothing became of this seemingly infallible masterpiece of Chaos.
    Ill will and irresolvable confrontation soon became issues to the detriment of this black metal trio. Wyvernus (ex-OBSCENUM) was brought in to flesh out the guitar sound and soon after an inevitable collapse became imminent. As Chaos will have it, this obscure form of music creation and performance could not last. As it was, before a live appearance could be made, Zuugruft left the band. Another project emerged, only to be summarily dismissed as "The Nar" re-awakened. This was short lived. The end all result shaped the future of HAELM. Zuugruft was removed from NAR MATTARU's line-up, which resulted in - after over a year of "beating around the bush" - what has become HAELM.
    Borne in pain and frustration, HAELM was forged. Regardless of the past, Xandregg, Wyvernus and Yorsh have come to the conclusion that another movement is due in the black metal community. Basing material on primarily War and Chaos, several songs were conceived early on. This resolution finite, 3 warriors rode forth into uncharted territory.
    Summer / Fall 2006 led to the recording of "Sons of Man Know Only Battle" - HAELM's first offering, a 4 song tribute to mankind's warlike nature. Never formally released, HAELM has entered the studio once more - recording their debut full-length "Our Father, Who Art War."
    Thus is HAELM.
