Runhild was a 17-year-old foreign exchange student from Norway when she joined Thorr’s Hammer along with Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson (musician). After 6 weeks, which was the time it took to release Sannhet i Blodet and record Dommedagsnatt, the band split up due to Runhild returning to Oslo, Norway. Dommedagsnatt was releaed soon afterwards in 1996 via Southern Lord Records. The four other members of Thorr’s Hammer went on to form the band Burning Witch.

In 2006, she helped form the band Khlyst (band) along with James Plotkin and Tim Wyskida. The album Chaos is My Name was released the same year.

On June 28, 2008, her debut solo album, Amplicon (album), was released through Utech Records.
Runhild Gammelsæter also has a PhD in cell physiology from the Faculty of Medicine of the university of Oslo.
