Band from Iceland. From 1995, they released records under the name Bellatrix. The name means "Blackassed motherfuckers".
The group was founded in 1992 in Keflavík by four women, all aged sixteen: Eliza Geirsdóttir (vocals and violin), Sigrún Eiríksdóttir (guitar), Ester Bíbí Ásgeirsdóttir (bass) and Birgitta Vilbersdóttir (drums). The band released the mini-album "Drápa" ("Slaughter") in '92. In 1994, they released "Kynjasögur" ("Family Stories") with Anna Margrét Hraundal (guitar) and Karl Ágúst Guðmundsson (trumpet and keyboard) replacing Birgitta. Two years later, in 1996, they released "Köld eru kvennaráð" ("Cold are the Petticoat Government"). This album developed their style more, refining the punk and building a poppier side as well.
