Editor's note

Sacramentum's Swedish black metal across two decades

A Swedish black metal band that formed in 1990 and released albums from the mid-90s through the 2000s.

For a good sense of their sound, check out 'Moonfog' or 'Thy Black Destiny'. They're both pretty representative of what they were doing.

They carved out a place in Swedish black metal with albums like 'Far Away from the Sun' and songs such as 'Blood Shall Be Spilled'. Their work holds up as a solid example of the genre's sound from that era. It's the kind of stuff that still gets mentioned when people talk about 90s black metal from Sweden.

They started in 1990 with Nicklas Andersson on vocals and drums. After their 1996 debut, they put out records like 'The Coming of Chaos' in 1998 and kept going into the 2000s with 'Thy Serpent's Tongue' and others. The lineup shifted over the years, adding players like Lars Mikael Stålfors on guitar.

Archive material and source history

Sacramentum formed in Sweden in 1990, with Nicklas Andersson on vocals and drums, Kristian Niemann on guitar, and Anders Backelin on bass. Their debut album 'Far Away from the Sun' came out in 1996, followed by 'The Coming of Chaos' in 1998. They kept releasing albums through the 2000s, including 'Thy Serpent's Tongue' in 2002, 'Deadmarch' in 2006, and 'Rebirth in Blasphemy' in 2009.

Their songs like 'Blood Shall Be Spilled' and 'Thy Black Destiny' show their style, which fits into Swedish black metal. The band's lineup changed over time, with other musicians like Lars Mikael Stålfors on guitar and Jakob Berglund on keyboards joining at points.

What's clearer is they made several albums over about two decades starting in the mid-90s.
