Code are an English/Norwegian black metal band that formed in 2002.

The band's original line-up consisted of Aort and Vyttra on guitars, Viper from the bands Ved Buens Ende and Dødheimsgard on bass guitar, Kvohst from the band Void on vocals, and AiwarikiaR, former drummer of Ulver, on drums. Aort wrote all of the music and Kvohst wrote all the of the lyrics, and the band released their first demo, entitled Neurotransmissions: Amplified Thought Chemistry, on March 15th, 2002. The band was eventually signed to Spikefarm Records an imprint record label of Spinefarm Records. Through Spikefarm, they released their first full-length, entitled Nouveau Gloaming on June 13th, 2005. Kvohst eventually went on to replace the departed Aldrahn on vocals in Dødheimsgard, thus leaving Code with no vocalist. The band also saw Vyttra and AiwarikiaR both leave the band for unspecified reasons. This led to the eventual recruitment of Asgeir Mickelson (of Borknagar, Spiral Architect, and Ihsahn) taking the position of session drummer for Code's next album. A few months later it was announced that ICS Vortex (of Arcturus, Dimmu Borgir, and Lamented Souls) had been recruited as the vocalist of the band. Yet, september 2008, the band announced that Kvohst had returned to do the vocals on the new album.^[1] More recently, the band has had another drummer change, with Adrian Erlandsson replacing Mickelson. The 4. November 2008 the title for the new album was announced: "Resplendent Grotesque". ^[2]
