Shylmagoghnar

Biography

Shylmagoghnar () is a Dutch melodic black metal and death metal band from Zuid-Limburg. The name is a collection of syllables, which founding members Nimblkorg and Skirge selected because they had personal resonance with them. They wanted to create a name which sounds otherworldly to match the music. The exact meaning of the name is kept a secret. The band was formed by Nimblkorg (born: Kevin Bertrand) and Skirge (born: Coen van der Weerden) in 2004, as a high school project between friends. Nimblkorg started out as a guitarist and Skirge as a lyricist/vocalist, but over time they both starting taking on multiple instruments and musical roles.
