Barbarossa Umtrunk was officially born in 2005, the first release was 3 tracks for Scontrum Act V with Larrnakh & Bunkkeriorkesteri. The band was composed originally from Baron Von S and Ra Kha joined some months later by G.C. Since the beginning the themes and atmospheres are taking inspiration in Gibelism, Aristocratic Gnostiscism and Eschatologics Prophecies of Indo-European Tradition. In November 2007, after the departure of Ra Kha, Barbarossa Umtrunk appears on the Post-Industrial Tribute to Marinetti "Parole In Liberta" for Creative Fields records with the track 'Futurus Ferrum' and 6 months later they participate on "Free Tibet Free" Sampler with the song "The Path to Shambhala". The composition "Le Sang et le Sol" referring to Walther Darre's doctrine was made for V.A "Heiliges Licht presents: Landwirtschaft" in August 2008.
Then, the first full length album called "Regnum Sanctum" has been released on SkullLine in October 2008. This limited CD of 50 copies contains ten tracks between bombastic military industrial & antediluvians neo-classical soundscapes. In the same time, the band appears with the song "Les 7 tours du Diable" on the Compilation "Free Your Mind" ( a tribute to Zeitgeist movie) released also on SkullLine, and one month later was released on the SkullLine Sampler "In the Sign of the Runes" a previous track called Eldritch Germania based on a poem by Karl Maria Weisthor and taken from the second album ...
The seconp opus was released in January 2009 on SkullLine. This album called Glazialkosmogonie reveals a more ambient, frozen and meta-cosmic ritualistic touch on his compositions based upon Ahnenerbe theorys and NS Esoterism & Gnose. The three last works of Barbarossa Umtrunk in the year 2009 were Splits: The first one with Seuschensturm called "Thule Gesellschaft" was released on March 2009, the second one with Kazeria called "72 Candles in Cairo (1904)" and based on Aleister Crowley Magick was released three months later in June 2009 with the collaboration of french esoterist writer Marc-Louis Questin. Then, at the end of 2009 G.C have left the band and Barbarossa Umtrunk has become Baron Von S one man's project. On December 2009, a third split, this time with french band Front Sonore called "Le Siècle des Grands Abattoirs" has been always released on SkullLine.
