Formed in January 1997 as Matutinum. As far as I know, nothing remarkable happened under that name, so for right now, we're not gonna make a separate page for it.
Apparently changed name to Frosthardr later in 1997.
Also apparently went by Frostharðr at some point.[1]

Discography:
Necrodisaster (demo, 2002, Nordic Mission)
Format: CD-R
A lot of uncertain info here. Why are there two cover variants? At any rate, both seem to belong to the same version of the demo, released on CD-R in 2002 by Nordic Mission. [This page] mentions the left artwork in the review; [this page] has a photo of the right artwork.
1) Frostens grimme klør om vinternatten holder
3:39, lyrics:
Kulda sliter i marg og bein,fryser kropp og blod til is. Vinden uler og iskaldt blåser, over høye fjell og langs vidder...i skogen finner jeg fred i natt....
Månen lyser så blekt der oppe, blandt stjerners klare skjnn, der danser "hun" så vakkert, med sine lange flakkende slør...aurora borealis
Over grantreskog er teppe lagt av snøens små krystaller, små kunstverk de i sannhet er, der de ligger og glittrer i den bleke månes lys...
Om denne natt kunne vare, men det er snart for sent, dagen er atter på vei. Men aldri vil jeg den glemme... Guds skaperverk her i NORGE!
2) Unhuman Morbid Fantasy
4:37, lyrics:
In darkness she hides away, afraid to show her face in daylight. Feelings of guilt torturing her mind... She feels dirty all the time, and no water can clean her body... Crying in pain...over and over again...
Raped body, raped mind...where is the safety of her home...torn apart she cries for death
Another victim...for the unhuman morbid fantasy
Destroyed for lifetime she is, after playing the games of her father...the morbid games of incest
Another victim of the unhuman morbid fantasy
7) Frosthardr - Unhuman Morbid Fantasy 4:32, see above for lyrics

1) Maktesløs
00:58, instrumental
2) Koma
6:05, lyrics:
Ensomhetens stier fører meg
Lengte bort
Forvi sorgenes vann
Og stillhetens skog
Med tausheten som eneste venn
Her hvor latteren er stilnet og glemt
Her har mang en sjel vandret
Forlatt uten håp
Forfulgt av fortids gjenferd
Forfulgt forlatt og alene
Tiden går men viser ingen nåde
Den kan være en venn eller en fiende
Leger mine sår og fører meg til nye
Kaldt og smertefullt det er
Kreftene ebber så alt for fort
Utslitt og maktesløs faller jeg om
Dette er en kamp jeg ikke makter
En byrde så alt for tung
Gi meg ro til å hvile
Gi meg en tid uten sår
Bli hos meg i ensomheten
Til jeg sovner stille inn
Lengte bort
Forvi sorgenes vann
Og stillhetens skog
Med tausheten som eneste venn
Her hvor latteren er stilnet og glemt
Her har mang en sjel vandret
Forlatt uten håp
Forfulgt av fortids gjenferd
Forfulgt forlatt og alene
Tiden går men viser ingen nåde
Den kan være en venn eller en fiende
Leger mine sår og fører meg til nye
Kaldt og smertefullt det er
Kreftene ebber så alt for fort
Utslitt og maktesløs faller jeg om
Dette er en kamp jeg ikke makter
En byrde så alt for tung
Gi meg ro til å hvile
Gi meg en tid uten sår
Bli hos meg i ensomheten
Til jeg sovner stille inn
3) Death - My Relief
8:52, lyrics:
Last words of a dying man...
And this is my release:
My wounded heart will burn
As long as it rots within me
So don't let the tears
Drown the fire
That burns in your heart
The pain won't last any longer
So I greet this world farewell
And this is my release:
My wounded heart will burn
As long as it rots within me
So don't let the tears
Drown the fire
That burns in your heart
The pain won't last any longer
So I greet this world farewell
4) Ravneskrik
9:15, lyrics:
I nattens stille timer jeg lengter
Etter å atter falle til ro
Da drømmer er en virkelighet
Under en stjernedekket himmel
Men uroen hjemsøker meg
Klorer meg til blods
Med sine kvasse lange klør
Fyllt av smerte og sorg
Fanden står på tunet
Lokker meg med syndens ord
Kaller meg ved mitt navn
Fyller meg igjen med frykt
Brått han vender om
Flykter inn i skyggen
Skrekkslagen og fyllt med hat
Fordi jeg roper Herrens ord
Jeg skriker som ravnen skriker
I skumringens timer
Som ravnen skriker skriker jeg
I skumringens timer
Etter å atter falle til ro
Da drømmer er en virkelighet
Under en stjernedekket himmel
Men uroen hjemsøker meg
Klorer meg til blods
Med sine kvasse lange klør
Fyllt av smerte og sorg
Fanden står på tunet
Lokker meg med syndens ord
Kaller meg ved mitt navn
Fyller meg igjen med frykt
Brått han vender om
Flykter inn i skyggen
Skrekkslagen og fyllt med hat
Fordi jeg roper Herrens ord
Jeg skriker som ravnen skriker
I skumringens timer
Som ravnen skriker skriker jeg
I skumringens timer

Think that I am perfect
To Him it's dirty rags
When I think I'm nice and warm
He just take one look and gags
Thrash, thrash, thrash against sin
Don't let satan enter in
Thrash it once, thrash it again
Thrash, thrash, thrash against sin
You have done the job
But don't forget the wage
I looked inside the Book of Life
I couldn't find your page
Better get right
Better repent
Better be quick
Your time is almost spent
Let's hate all that is evil
And stick with what is good
Or else we mock the Man who died
Upon a cross of wood
Thrash, thrash, thrash against sin

2) Devastation
2:50, lyrics:
We are the monsters
Of devastation
Destroying the life
On this earth
We are the creators
Of all pollution
That's poisoning
The land and the sea
We are the inventors
Of death-machines
That's making
It harder to breathe
We are the masters
Of self-destruction
A soon ending
Sad history
We are the erasers
Of wildlife and nature
Just look how
We raped mother earth
We are the slaughters
Notorious carnivores
Killing more
Than we can eat
We are the torturers
Of all God's creatures
How can we face
What we've done
We are so lost
In our own world
About time our feet
Hit the ground
We are
What do we think we are
We are
What do we think we are
3) Varg
5:38, lyrics:
Østenfor fjell
Høres atter lengsels hyl
Det lyder som vakker sang
Enn så sørgmodig
Blant trærne skimter jeg øynes glød
Avspeile månens lys
For de har vendt tilbake
Skogens varger
*På sorte vinger svever jeg
Skuer ned på mørke silhuetter*
Faunaens misforståtte vesen
Forhatt for sitt instinkt
Ble kjeppjaget fra vårt land
Vakre pelskledde beist
Østenfor fjell
Har de vendt tilbake
Blant trærne skimter jeg øynes glød
Fra skogens varger
4) Ormebol
4:48, lyrics:
Ett barn leker
Ved et ormebol
En blek kropp skjelver
Under midnatts sol
Ett smertefullt bitt
Kommer så brått
Spred dødelig gift
I den vesles skrott
Forderver voksnes
Griske sinn
En giftorms forbannelse
Sprøytes inn
Forpsestet blod
I unge vener
Trell av alt
De uvitende mener
Det skrevne ord
Med sort mystikk
Lokkende sang
Med ond lyrikk
Forfallets vesener
Styrer ferden
Illusjoner om lykke
I fiksjonenes verden
Marionetteførerens
Tråder bærer
Alt det ditt døende
Hjerte begjærer
Ett barn leker
Ved ett ormebol
Ett eldgammelt
Lik på sin tronestol

5) Plunder
5:59, lyrics:
This world, a labyrinth
Of spiritual dungeons
Trapped,
Far beyond the surface
No light,
Just pitch black days
Crawling,
On your bleeding knees
Plunder the devil's goldmine
Again we'll
Plunder the devil's soulmine
Come on
Plunder the devil's goldmine
We're here to
Plunder the devil's soulmine
Suicide,
Often crossed your mind
Death,
Hides behind a smiling mask
Stumbling,
Through the pits of despair
You scream,
Only the echoes answer
Plunder the devil's goldmine
Again we'll
Plunder the devil's soulmine
Come on
Plunder the devil's goldmine
We're here to
Plunder the devil's soulmine
6) The Battle
4:39, lyrics:
Come on troops and march with me
Onto the battlefields
The time has come to put an end
To this war of misery
The tears
You wept
The blood
You shed
Will turn
To victory
So bring
Your sword
With two
Edged blade
Come on now
March with me
The dawn is near
Let's gather for attack
Into battle
Without fear
You know
We are immortal
Into battle
Without fear
The mighty warlord
Guides us
Come on troops and march with me
Onto the battlefields
The tears you wept
The blood you shed
Will turn to victory
7) Identity Denied
8:58, lyrics:
Screaming
For my freedom
Why won't you
Release me
Tied up in
This world of pain
Forgotten how
It was to
Lift my wings and fly
Above the darkened clouds
High above
Your prison of loneliness
Hurt by your lies
And your pretended love
I have felt the salt
In my bleeding flesh
Still your ghost
Is haunting me
Calling my name
With a venomous tongue
I've tried to escape
(So many times)
But you have torn
My wings off
I've tried to escape,
Away, away
But you have torn
My wings off
8) Warmachines
5:59, lyrics:
What have you done
To deserve my sympathy
I've grown tired
Of your ways
Your hypocrisy
Does not impress me
Don't blame me
For being ignorant
I won't take part
In your slaughter
The second kill
Doesn't justify the first
(And) you got blood of 1000's
On your dirty hands
Clean up your own mess
(You bastards)
Don't come here
With your self-righteous speech
I know the history,
I know the past
Your words just become
So pathetic
Don't you try
To blindfold me
I can see
What lays beyond
We have
Seen it all before
And won't
Be fooled again
Firing bullets
Just for profit
Your moral
Has faded away
And once again
You're the bastard/you suck
Your guns
Your bombs
Your war-machines
You bastards
Can you
No longer hear
The screams of agony
Have you
Become totally deaf
The echoes of Abel,
Screaming
Beaten to death
So awfully long
Time ago
It seems like
You still haven't learned
'Cause you just
Keep on killing
9) Siste Sukk
6:04, lyrics:
Regntunge skyer
Dekker himmelen
Mørke og store
Slipper ei
Dagens lys hit
Ei heller nattens
De gråter
Sine tårer
Som utrøstelige barn
Med sommerens
Siste sukk
Før vinteren kommer
Tordendrønn
I det fjerne
Og himmelflerrende lyn
Sommerstormens røst
Takker nå farvel
Hvert et vann
Vil ligge islagt
Hvert et fjell
Blir dekket av snø
Kuldens vind
Vil atter hyle
I vinterstormens
Ville raseri
10) Destination
6:32, lyrics:
Time passes by
Day turns to night
Night turns to day
You live and you die
Life is so short
Compared to eternity
So full of pain
And endless sorrow
Afterlife, after death
The result of your choices
Entering the heavenly gates
Or the bloody pits of hell
Death so close
The final sleep
Life is a countdown
To the last heartbeat
Death is the beginning
Of the afterlife
In the end
Where will you be?
This world, a labyrinth
Of spiritual dungeons
Trapped,
Far beyond the surface
No light,
Just pitch black days
Crawling,
On your bleeding knees
Plunder the devil's goldmine
Again we'll
Plunder the devil's soulmine
Come on
Plunder the devil's goldmine
We're here to
Plunder the devil's soulmine

ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS
Varg / Wolf
East of the mountains / Howls of yearning sounds again
It sounds like beautiful song / Yet so mournful
Amid the trees I catch / A glimmer of eyes glowing
Reflecting the moonlight / Because they have returned;
The wolves of the forest
*On black wings I soar / Peering down on dark silhouettes*
Misunderstood creature of the fauna / Hated for its instincts
Was forced from our country / Beautiful fur-clothed beast
East of the mountains / They have returned
Amid the trees I catch / A glimmer of eyes glowing
From wolves of the forest
Serpent's Nest / Orembol
A child plays / By a serpent's nest
A pale body shivers / Under the midnight sun
An abrupt, / Painful bite
Spreads deadly venom / In the young body
The rancid greedy / Minds of men
A serpent's / Curse injected
Infected blood / In young veins
Slave to the conceptions / Held by the ignorant
The written word / With dark mystique
Luring song / With evil poetry
Creatures of entropy / Plot our course
Illusions of happiness / In the world of fiction
The threads of / The puppeteer lifting
Everything your / Dying heart desires
A child plays / By a serpent's nest
An ancient corpse / On his throne
Last Sigh / Siste Sukk
Heavy clouds / Cover the sky
Dark and great / Keeping the light
Of day at bay / And that of night
They cry their tears / As inconsolable children
With summer's last sigh / Before winter comes
Thunder rolling / In the distance
And lightning tears the sky / The voice of the summer storm
Bids us now farewell
Each and every lake / Will be frozen over
Every mountain / Covered with snow
Once again, / The winds of the frost will howl
In the savage rage / Of the winter storm

INFO:
1) What's with the cover art variants for "Necrodisaster"? 2) Missing lyrics for the "Varg" EP. 3) Does anyone have more info about when they went by Matutinum? 4) Are the CD and standard vinyl versions of the self-titled "limited editions" or not? 5) Which tracks are on Side A, and Side B, for the vinyl versions? 6) Are the 2002 releases in the correct order? 7) Missing track lengths for the "Pre-Release". (Are these the same recordings as on the 2018 album, or...???) 8) Names of the past members. 9) More info (incl. pictures?) for the two versions of Maktesløs. 10) Any other relevant information? There's ASTOUNDINGLY little about this band online considering how well-known they are.
IMAGES:
Every image here could use a better version. What is it with these well-known bands, and not having high-quality images of anything online? Also, does anyone have a better (UP-TO-DATE) band photo?
Miscellaneous stuff:
Similar to: [SECULAR] Himinbjorg, Carpathian Forest, Satyricon, Blodsrit, Gorgoroth, Mayhem, God Seed, Tsjuder, Daudur, Vultyrium, [CHRISTIAN] Crimson Moonlight, Wintersoul, Christageddon, Dark Endless, Eternal Throne, Irgalom, (add more later)
