Fafnir and Glaurung soon left the band, but Nagash continued Troll as a solo project, playing guitar and keyboard.
(However, after having released two albums, they had to change the name to The Kovenant due to a Swedish band already called Covenant).
Gaining a good reputation in the black metal scene, Nagash was recruited as bass player for Dimmu Borgir in 1996.
At the same time, he changed his stage name to Lex Icon in order to reflect the artistic direction The Kovenant had taken.
In 2004, now known as Lex Icon, he teamed up with Shagrath and formed a new heavy metal band called Chrome Division.
