Yohann is The Pete Best and appears only on the band's demo. The band was evidently founded by guitarist Hasjarl (real name Christian Bouché) along with Shaxul, a bassist known only as Khaos, and a drummer by the name of Yohann Pasquier, originally intended as a side project to the band Hirilorn, which all except Khaos were members of. The bulk of the information that is known about their membership is apparently sourced from email interviews with their first vocalist, Shaxul. Their most recent interview was conducted in 2020 with the webzine Cult Never Dies.

They are also notable for their extreme reclusiveness, even by Black Metal standards only one of the current band members' identities is confirmed by any official source, and they did not give a single interview between 2004 (with Ajna Offensive) and 2019 (with Bardo Methodology). They are also considered part of the 'orthodox black metal' movement, which does not refer to their highly unorthodox musical style but rather to their theistic Satanism (in contrast with atheistic satanists like King Diamond and Akercocke other orthodox black metal artists include Ondskapt, Funeral Mist, Watain, and S.V.E.S.T.). But let's not get too ahead of ourselves just yet. They are notable for their unconventional approach to the genre, eschewing black metal's traditional Three Chords and the Truth philosophy in favor of a far more complex approach that makes use of incredibly intricate, difficult music and erudite, philosophical lyrics that usually deal with metaphysical Satanism (the band has stated that 'all other interpretations of Satan are intellectually invalid'). Alongside Blut aus Nord and Alcest, they are probably that country's most famous black metal export. This is very nearly the only thing that is known for certain about them, as we will discuss shortly.
