简介
Additional notes
The band was founded on the ruins of a band named "Skoll". Svartsot means "black sickness" in older Danish. It is the name of a type of jaundice that causes a person's skin to turn black.
Stewart Lewis was forced to sit out touring activities in late 2008 due to his wife's ill health. Hans-Jørgen Martinus Hansen filled in for some shows, and Christopher Bowes of Alestorm made a few brief appearances when the bands were on tour together. Lewis eventually announced he was taking a break from Svartsot for the forseeable future.
Due to different views on the direction of the band, all active members except Cris Frederiksen quit the band in December 2008. Hans-Jørgen Martinus Hansen joined full time at this point, but Stewart Lewis is also still considered a band member despite his absence.
