Founded by Dolk out of the ashes of Mock. According to II13, "Thomas joined the band in 1994. What happened was that Dolk wrote the song "Kampfar" using his bass, and then needed someone to record it on guitar. Dolk and Thomas hence joined forces, and then they wrote "Hymne" together. The whole reason why Kampfar has this special sound is due to the mix between Dolk's black metal roots, and Thomas' classical and folkish roots."

"Kampfar" is an ancient Norse battle cry which means Odin or Wotan.

The band didn't play live until 2004.

II13 lives in Holland.
