Additional Notes:
The band was originally called Belfegor, and they released one demo under that name titled "The Ancient Gods of Evil". After that they split up, but reformed in 1997 as Nargoventor. Soon after that, they changed their name to Azaghal, which is a name of a dwarf king in Tolkien's mythology.
The band credits "Unhuman Warmachine" on some releases as their drummer, but this is just a drum machine.
