Additional notes
Not to be confused with Temnozor' from Moscow who has only released one demo ("Sinim") in 1995.

Wuulko and Tuur are the founders of the band.

According to the band, "Temnozor" is an archaic Russian word nowadays used only in some rural dialects, it means deep dark twilights before the dawn and also could be understood as manifestation to the Spirit of sunrise."

Ilya Babin aka Gorruth is the owner of Stellar Winter Records.

Temnozor was supposed to play in the Azijnfabriek (Roermond, the Netherlands) on the 16th of January 2010. However, the venue eventually cancelled the concert after a fuss about the alleged right-wing ideology of the band. Local authorities even called upon the AIVD (a Dutch agency, comparable to the American CIA) for an investigation of the band. According to the neo-Nazi website Stormfront, this would've been Temnozor's first gig in Western-Europe.
