    Drottnar started back in 1996 as Vitality. After recording a demo they changed their name to Drottnar and made another demo. These demos were used for the first album, Spiritual Battle. Anamorphosis is the follow-up, recorded in 2002. In fact, it's an EP with three songs and an intro track. Overall, Drottnar's music is very basic black metal without the addition of extras like keyboards. There are only a few moments in which you can hear a violin. Personally, I think they should expand that. Though the music is mainly a guitar/bass/drums kind of black metal, it doesn't have a shrill sound. There's a variety of fast, mid-tempo and slower parts. Though Drottnar isn't bad, their songs don't impress me.
