There Are Two Bands Under The Name Utumno Which Was The Name Of Morgoth's First Stronghold In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth Mythos 1 Utumno Was A Death Metal Band Which Was Formed In Västerås Sweden In 1990 By Jonas Stålhammar On Vocals Who Was Playing At That Time Also In God Macabre And Ex-Abhoth . Utumno Recorded 2 Demo's "Desolation Domain" And "Twisted Emptiness" Both In 1990 . The Second Demo Led To A Record Deal With The Just Activated Dutch Record Label Cenotaph Records.

The Second Pressing Of The E.P Featured Coverart By The Back Then In The Underground Famous Danish Artist Paw Nielsen. In 1993 Utumno Recorded Their 6 Track Mini Cd Across The Horizon At Sunlight Studio With Again Tomas Skogsberg.
