Stian Tomt Thoresen (born 18 November 1976),[1][2][3] known professionally as Shagrath, is a Norwegian musician.

When the band formed in 1993, Shagrath played drums, but switched to vocals before the release of the album Stormblåst in 1996.

Shagrath is also the rhythm guitarist/songwriter and a founding member of the hard rock band Chrome Division, which formed in 2004.

Shagrath has also played guest keyboards in the black metal band Ragnarok, and had a solo project named Starkness.

I chose the name thirteen years ago, so it's kinda crappy that Lord of the Rings has become so big now.
