**Sylvan Fortress** is a black metal supergroup that originated out of San Diego, California in the United States. The band formed in 2001 with the lineup of Charles Powell and Scott Lewis.

## History

Sylvan Fortress began in 2001 out of San Diego, California. The band originated after the disbanding of their previous band, Incinerate, which was formed in order to open for Extol. With the lineup of Lord Charles Powell, Lord Corenth, Sir Timothy, and Sir Gazeroth, the band would press on. Several members would go back and forth. By 2003, the band released a track on a compilation, *Out of Darkness...By the Blood*. After the release, the band seemingly went defunct, consisting of only Charles Powell. Powell would add on Drummer "Throne Yeldah" for a brief time, though nothing seemingly came of it.

By 2015, the only update was that Vocalist "Lonewolf" would not necessarily be able to continue. In 2016, it was announced that Carnifex Drummer Shawn Cameron would be taking over the Drum position, which led to the two working on a new album. In early 2017, Ronny Hansen of Antestor and Luke Renno of Taking the Head of Goliath would both be added into the lineup. With the new lineup, the band set out to record their debut album, *Enthroned on White*.
