In 2002, Varggoth started another project by the name of Aryan Terrorism, to add to his increasingly wide range of projects outside Nokturnal Mortum, and to spread his political beliefs in a more explicit way. Another Nokturnal Mortum side project done by Varggoth is Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra, an ambient/black metal project formed in 1994. The most famous album of this project, The Key To The Gates Of The Apocalypse, is most likely known particularly due to its long runtime (one 72-minute track) and combination of dark ambient and fast black metal.
