I interviewed Byron for my fanzine and the band lyrics aren't based on either Howard or Lovecraft, they're all his own creations and stuff INSPIRED by such writers. And the map is entirely his own design too, based on his antediluvian fantasy world.
Anyway, chill, even Sagoth die hards should find this vid harmlessly amusing!
Indeed the information here was quite inaccurate. The band bases their lyrics mainly on the writings of Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft. In fact, the name "Bal-Sagoth" comes from a short-story by Howard entitled "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth." The "map" presented there was not entirely an original creation by them, but refers to the geography in the pseudo-pre-historical fictional world created by Howard.
Their world is purely their own. It comes from the mind of the band's great writers and it is more influenced by Robert E. Howard's "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth" than anything.
ok...Bal Sagoth has absolutely nothing to do with DnD...they write about legends, myths and anything fantasy related...hell, you could claim they write about WoW for all you've proved...
Publicity is good, though it's irritating hearing "oh my god thith amaathing band thing about dragonth and thtuff!"

Just what IS this from, anyway? Can't say I'm familiar with the Pizza Show Sketch...

FIXTURE:
You say DnD is "the only good game ever made"?! YOUR KIDDING ME, RIGHT??!!! There are other good games out there besides DnD, Pizza Show! >:C
However, I don't care much about Bal-Sagoth's music or DnD, nor do i hate them. :\

WTF, Bal-Sagoth isn't about DnD!
