In 2019 Kaldrad Branislav was killed after being struck by a car. The concept of Forest was born after Kaldrad and Dagorath’s journey into the old woods where the long forgotten sacrificial places, forest temples and burial mounds of ancient Slavs were situated. The unique atmosphere of these haunted woods, the ghosts of the past channeled the inspiration into the hearts and minds of Forest creators and right after the return from this journey, in the Autumn of 1994 the debut demo of Forest was composed and recorded in an intuitive and spontaneous way. It had a very strange sound and 2 of 4 songs were not Black Metal, but some weird folk-like ambient compositions on guitars. It was recorded only for close allies, and was never widely spread, although one track from this rehearsal called “Winter Howl” is included unchanged in the 1996 self-titled demo, and another song called “Like A Shade Upon This Land” was also included but in a re-recorded form. In 2000 Forest was renamed to Varglodr
