BARATHRUM BIOGRAPHY
Barathrum is one of the most legendary and one of the first Finnish Black Metal bands along with Beherit and Impaled Nazarene found on the very beginning in 1990s (to be more precise, on winter 1990). They are originally from Kuopio, Finland, but after the album "Legions of Perkele", Demonos Sova (the founder) moved to Helsinki.
After releasing demos, Barathrum signed contract with a small german label, called "Nazgul's Eyrie Productions", and releases 3 albuns through it. Although those records had a very poor sound production, they were more than enough to stablish Barathrum as one of the most important bands on the european underground scene, for their satanic look and for their music: an original black metal act, that stands out for the presence of two bass guitar players (a standard 4-strings and one with 6 strings), and for the massive influence of classic heavy metal/rock in their songs.
After releasing "Anno Aspera" in 2003, Barathrum has started playing gigs again. And they should release a new DVD, but it aint 100% sure.
