Martian Lopez was replaced as drummer from 1996-1998, and then he was replaced by Fredrik Andersson, from 1998 to 2015.

As of 2020, they've released a total of 11 albums; Once Sent from the Golden Hall (1998), The Avenger (1999), The Crusher (2001), Versus the World (2002), Fate of Norns (2004), With Oden On Our Side (2006), Twilight of the Thunder God (2008), Surtur Rising (2011), Deceiver of the Gods (2013), Jormsviking (2016), and Berserker (2019).

The lyrical themes of their songs involve the Vikings and Norse Mythology. This has caused many people to call them Viking Metal, but this isn't something they're a fan of, not because it's untrue, but because they don't like naming the genre of music based on the lyrical themes. They prefer to just call themselves Melodic Death Metal.
