Sacramentum

Sacramentum Is A Melodic Black/death Metal Band From Göteborg Sweden And Was Formed In 1990. The Band Was Initially Named Tumulus Although Shortly Before The Release Of Their Demo "Sedes Impiorum" Their Name Was Changed To Sacramentum. Their First Official Release Was The MCD "Finis Malorum" Which Was Self-Financed Recorded In 1994 And Re-Released One Year Later In 1995 By The French Label Adipocere Records. Their Positively-Received MCD Was Followed In 1996 By Their First Full-Length Album "Far Away From The Sun". This Debut Album Came Out To Near-Unanimously Positive Reviews And Is Still Regarded As One Of The Finest Melodic Black/death Metal Albums. Their Subsequent Albums 1997's "The Coming Of Chaos" And 1999's "Thy Black Destiny" Focused Less On A Melodic Death/black Metal Sound And More On A Fusion Of Black Death And Thrash Metal. Little Was Heard From Them After The "Thy Black Destiny" Album Except Some Live Performances In 2001. The Silence Was Broken In 2019 When They Announced Their Return. They Have Been Booked For A Few Festivals In 2020 At Which They Will Be Performing "Far Away From The Sun" In Its Entirety. In Addition They Have Announced A New Full-Length Album Which Is To Be Entitled "Shadow Of Oblivion". read less
