Kristallnacht

Band, 1996-2002 FR, Toulon
Rock
A.k.a. Funeral (2)

Kristallnacht was formed in 1994 in France by L.F. and was originally called Funeral. Two demos were recorded under that name, "Black Flame of Unholy Hate" in 1995 and a split demo with Osculum Inflame in 1996. In June 1996 Xaphan, vocalist on the split demo, was incarcerated for grave desecration and violation of a cadaver. However, L.F. continued as a one man band and later that year Funeral was changed to Kristallnacht. In 1997 L.F. recorded the new track "Reigning with Honour & Tyranny" and the Burzum cover "Lost Wisdom" with the help from Duke Satanael of Godkiller on keyboard and drum machine. The new track was featured on the split EP tape with Moerke that was released in 1998 and one month later L.F. went to jail for three months because of N.S. propaganda and racial hate. In August 1998 L.F. got a deal from German Darker Than Black Records for an MCD and in 1999 "Warspirit" was released. The compilation album "Of Elitism and War" was released in 2001 and contained live songs and an Absurd cover. In September 2002, after eights years since the band was formed, L.F. decided to put an end to Kristallnacht due to several reasons. The last releases were the 7" "Adversary" and EP/LP "Creation Through Destruction", both in 2002.
