Code is an English/Norwegian black metal that formed in 2002. The band's original line-up consisted of Aort and Vyttra on guitars, Viper from the bands Ved Buens Ende and Dødheimsgard on bass, Kvohst from the band Void on vocals, and AiwarikiaR, former drummer of Ulver, on drums. Aort wrote all of the music and Kvohst, all the of the lyrics, and the band released their first demo entitled Neurotransmissions - Amplified Thought Chemistry on March 15th, 2002. The band was eventually signed to Spikefarm Records an imprint record label of Spinefarm Records. Through Spikefarm, they released their first full-length, entitled Nouveau Gloaming on June 13th, 2005. Kvohst eventually went on to replace the departed Aldrahn on vocals in Dødheimsgard, thus leaving Code with no vocalist. The band also saw Vyttra and AiwarikiaR both leave the band for unspecified reasons. This led to the eventual recruitment of Asgeir Mickelson (of Borknagar, Spiral Architect and Ihsahn fame), taking the position of session drummer for Code's next album. A few months later it was announced on Code's myspace, that Simen "ICS Vortex" Hestnæs (of Arcturus, Dimmu Borgir and Lamented Souls) had been recruited as the vocalist of the band.[1] More recently, they had another drummer change, with Adrian Erlandsson taking the seat.
