Apparently, Cromworx is a solo-outfit by Grom, part of the original line-up of Slovakian Gothic Metal act Orkrist. They were active – and quite ‘popular’ – at the very beginning of this millennium, and after a pretty long ‘break’ they sort of returned a couple of years ago.
Nasheim were formed at the very beginning of this century by Erik Grahn (think: Lethal, Envenomed etc.) and a couple of colleagues. During the first half of the former decade, Nasheim recorded two great demos, which were compiled afterwards, and in 2007 there was the superb split with Angantyr. All this came to realisation thanks to the professional assistance of Northern Silence Productions.
One of the many acts from the North-Rhine-Westphalia region is the very young two-piece Cross Vault, formed by M (g, b) and N (v, d). The latter (real name: Niklas Thiele aka Barrage Bastard aka Nerrath), by the way, is also involved with bands or projects like Zerstörer, Horn, Bulldozing Bastard, Shrine or Licht Erlischt… - FYI.
Alor are a very young solo-outfit by Miguel Black aka Amarok, former member of shortly lived (yet productive) duo Lyset, and briefly active in Nangilima too. He created this piece called Haerfest at the end of 2013, and he had the opportunity to have it released via the professional label Northern Silence Productions earlier this year. Amarok did all instruments and vocals (there’s one single track with guest vocals), as well as the production and mix.
Saor (which is Gaelic for ‘free’) is a project by Andy ‘Tuagh’ Marshall, whom you might know from his previous collaboration with, for example, Falloch, Concept Of Time, In Vino Veritas or Askival. Initially Saor were called Àrsaidh, for your info.
