                                       Barathrum started in early nineties, along with
                                       the, now-legendary, masters of dark metal,
                                       BEHERIT. During the years BARATHRUM
                                       recorded three albums for German Nazgul's Eyrie
                                       Productions with a totally low studio budget. Later
                                       when the company went bankrupt (not because of
                                       BARATHRUM, anyway...), the band were left
                                       without a deal for a couple of months. During early
                                       1998 the band were featured on the EASTER
                                       HOLOCAUST tour in Finland, with Swedish
                                       COUNTESS and Finnish WIZZARD and
                                       BABYLON WHORES. The Easter Holocaust tour
                                       proved that the band had during the years
                                       improved into one helluva live act, and the deal
                                       with SPINEFARM was signed rightafter. The
                                       fourth BARATHRUM album, LEGIONS OF
                                       PERKELEwas recorded in March 1998 at
                                       TICO-TICO STUDIO, Kemi, Finland, and
                                       engineered by the already legendary Mr Ahti
                                       Kortelainen (SENTENCED, IMPALED
                                       NAZARENE, among hundreds of others). The
                                       sound on LEGIONS OF PERKELE is first time as
                                       it should have been on every BARATHRUM
                                       album, heavy and thundering, with the two (!!!)
                                       bass guitars playing riffs like many metal guitarist
                                       should learn to.

                                       The 6th album was released summer 2000 and
                                       was titled Okkult. Evil genius Demonos sova has
                                       created his most twisted cd so far. As usual,
                                       Okkult is filled with demonic riffs and mind
                                       possesing lyrics. This time record was mixed and
                                       produced by Mikko Karmila, whom many of you
                                       know to be the guy behind the sound of
                                       Nightwish, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom and so
                                       many more!

                                       Since Beast Dominator, the drummer on Saatana
                                       and Okkult left the band for concentrating with full
                                       power to his other projects - mainly Finntroll
                                       Demonos Sova had to find an equal replacement.
                                       And believe it or not, current drummer is better
                                       known from the band Waltari!!!

                                        "Barathrum do not perform black metal, but rather
                                           an involved, well-constructed black rock.
                                               Yes that is right, black rock."
