Biography
Negura Bunget formed at the end of 1994, as a duo, with Hupogrammos Disciple on guitars, vocals, and keyboards, and Negru on drums (at that point, the band was known as Wiccan Rede). In 1997, Sol'Faur Spurcatu joined the group on guitar. In a 2004 interview, Negru explained the symbolism of the name:
cquote|Negura Bunget is a black fog coming from a deep dark dense forest. The name tries to picture somehow the kind of atmosphere, both musical and spiritual we'd want to create through our music. It has also an esoteric nature, standing for the inexpressible parts of our ideology. The two words are also from the Tracic substrate of the Romanian language (the oldest one, containing about 90 words) as the interest for our local history and spirituality is something of crucial importance and meaning for us as a band.

After one demo, one album and one EP, three more full-length albums followed - Maiastru Sfetnic , '' 'N Crugu Bradului and OM (Negura Bunget album)|OM . The success of Maiastru Sfetnic'' secured the band a three-album contact with the 'code666 record' label. Now reaching a wider audience, they began their first European tours.
N Crugu Bradului included four songs spanning a total of nearly an hour.
The band described the album as:
cquote|The 4th Negura Bunget phase… the principles of 4 (four). The natural form of the Universe to manifest itself (the 4 seasons, the 4 phases of the moon, the 4 moments of the day, the 4 winds, the 4 cardinal points, the 4 elements…). The principle of 4 is a form that needs to be activated, through the consciousness (the awakening of the conscience) moving towards contemplation, standing for the initiation though mystery.

In 2006 Negura Bunget released OM . The album has received attention in the extreme music press; for example, it was ranked as the second best album of 2006 by the writers of the British Terrorizer Magazine .
In 2009, the band went through some unreconcilable disagreements between the three formers of the band, Hupogrammos, Sol'Faur and drummer Negru. Both Hupogrammos and Sol'Faur left the band, and Negru continues under the name of Negura Bunget with a new line-up.cite web | url = http://www.terrorizer.com/content/negura-bunget-saga-continues | title = ‘NEGURA BUNGET SAGA CONTINUES’ | accessdate = 2009-05-13 | work = Terrorizer Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot
