Artist description The music of SACRAMENTUM could be described as both melodic and aggressive. SACRAMENTUM is successfully trying to combine the intense rawness of death metal with the solemn cold darkness of black metal. The lyrics are held on a personal level. They are imbued with a dark, misanthropic, apocalyptic and fateful sensation that does not leave anybody unaffected

Music Style Death/black metal

Musical Influences Frustration, death, misery, famine and WAR

Artist History SACRAMENTUM was formed by Nisse Karlén in the summer of 1990. In spring 1997 SACRAMENTUM signed with Century Media Records. The second full-length album was recorded in June 1997 in Los Angered Recordings with supreme assistance of the King Diamond guitarist Andy La Roque. The finished result was entitled "The Coming of Chaos" and was released in September 1997. In September 1998 SACRAMENTUM recorded their new album in Andy La Rocque's studio Los Angered Recordings. It is called "Thy Black Destiny" and the ten songs (intro and outro included) on the album convey an outstanding dark intensity.
