Formed in 1996, the band has released four albums, Spiritual Battle (2000), Welterwerk (2006), Stratum (2012) and Monolith (2019) and an EP titled Anamorphosis (2003).

Originally adopting a Viking image,[6] the band is currently known for their peculiar thematics and live shows where they use military uniforms reminiscent of the Soviet style.

The band changed its image a bit and used more militant elements such as gas masks as part of its live shows.

Around the time of the album's release, the band began using early 20th century military regalia as part of their image.

[12] On 13 October 2012 the band released the new album, entitled Stratum, in digital format, as well as a music video for the song "We March".

All three have met with very positive praise from fans, showcasing a more raw, even more experimental sound than previous material.

"[7] Currently Drottnar has had a special feature for several years, the use of Czech or "Soviet" style elements: the song titles and lyrics contain Soviet-sounding words and metaphors, some songs contain samples of radio play or radio communication elements involved in the 20th century,[8] and at concerts all band members used Soviet uniforms,.

[3] With the release of Welterwerk, Drottnar broadened their style, "aiming somewhere between Atheist, Extol, and the most complex Mayhem material and almost hitting the mark.
