Hailing from the ever-fertile Finnish black metal scene,  Sacrificium Carmen  both embody their home country's prevailing underground idiom and offer a unique, diabolical twist to it. Founded in 2009 by vocalist Hoath Cambion and guitarist Advorsvs, the band draws their inspiration from the areas of occultism and Satanism exclusively.  Sacrificium Carmen  became active in 2012 with a full lineup, and soon released their debut demo,  Sanansaattaja , in 2013 via Finnish underground label Spread Evil Productions. After the demo’s release, the band excelled in the areas of live shows and split releases, which all spread well around the underground scene. In 2014,  Sacrificium Carmen  started working on a debut full-length album, and the demo recordings led into a signing of a record deal with  Saturnal Records  for the debut album  Ikuisen Tulen Kammiossa .

Following its release during the autumn of 2015,  Ikuisen Tulen Kammiossa  reaped widespread acclaim, and opinion was nearly unanimous:  Sacrificium Carmen  was a definite contender. Now, the band has further intensified and refined their sound with LP#2,  Hermetica . Here you will find the same approach black metal with a melodic and atmospheric touch where all tendencies have been directed into very aggressive and sinister output, where Finnish black metal sound meets murky death metal sound as witnessed with orthodox black metal acts - but more vibrantly expressed, suggestive of the band's onstage confidence. Like its full-length predecessor,  Hermetica  present s eight equally dynamic tracks, dragging the listener to the sulfurous depths, with characteristic vapor trails of hypnotizing melody lingering above the tar-thick sewage. One could even say  Sacrificium Carmen  are more "rocking" here, and even more melodic simultaneously - but let it be known that the band are still exquisitely filthy  and  exceptionally well-recorded.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, or so the saying goes.  Sacrificium Carmen  keep the fires of Finnish black metal burning and hold high the torch with  Hermetica !
