Twilight of the Gods coalesced in 2010 as a Bathory tribute project before evolving into an original band, taking their name from the sixth Bathory album. The lineup assembled a collection of veterans drawn from Einherjer, Mayhem, Aura Noir, Thyrfing, and Primordial — the latter's Alan Averill serving as vocalist.
