Biography
Forwald played in Desolation, Archon, and Maleficum. He joined Myrkskog in 1998 and left the band in 2000 to form Disiplin. In 2005 he kicked out the other Disiplin members for not being members of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order", a Satanic order.
After Brice Leqlercq left Dissection, Forwald became the band's bassist in 2005 and left the same year "As a result of bassist Haakon Forwald's family situation back home in Norway and his initiatory work with the Norwegian cell division of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order" and "in order to focus on his esoteric and exoteric work in Norway".
In around 2005/2006, Forwald turned towards pagan and far-right ideology which he integrated into his band Disiplin, which also joined the NSBM network Pagan Front.
