BARATHRUM "Legions of Perkele" CD 1998 ("In most of processes in the grimoires, Demons are subordinate to the magician, Or can be subordinated. But there is another group of rituals in which the force of evil is master and worshipped. Those connected with the pact with the devil, The witches' sabbat and black mass.")

"Castle stands on the islands of stone It is surrounded by dark waters Centuries on its place For centuries more it shall do the same

It's history so cruel The fort was cursed by eerie doom There's a witch enclosed into the wall No one knows exact place where There's a tree on the wall More than thirty feel tall It is said it's roots Grew from the heart of sorceress Every night she haunts On the corridors of fort Her restless soul Wanders in those huge halls

Autumn long time ago The colossal stone fort Inside that dark walled castle Beautiful young female dwelt

Dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord Dark sorceress, worshipper of the Ramlord

Dark witch used black magic Gestic magic in the war In was against warriors Wielders of the curved sabres

Dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord Dark sorceress, worshipper of the Ramlord

Another stormy night during that autumn of fights The enemy broke the gates and came with their sharp blades Sorceress casted the spell to protect the castle She performed her rite against intruders with sabres

Sky turned to dark The sorceress draw the mark Mark of the Ramlord in the air Strongest thunderstorm was created Lightnings everywhere Electricity in the air Lightning casted the shadows Of the Ramlord onto the wall Enemy saw that shape And because of that they escaped The shadow of the Ramlord On the wall of black powered fort (Behold) dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord (Hark) dark sorceress, worshipper of the Ramlord...!"

Goatmoon - Varjot

2000 -luvun alkupuolella perustetun, natsi- ja jutskujuttuihin snadisti sotketun, yhden miehen kansallistanhuisen bläkkisproggiksen kolmas täyspitkä. Lätty, jonka kansitaiteesta vastaa Demonos Sova, startataan Tuomassaukkosmaisella akustisella herkistelyllä kunnes parin minuutin jälkeen iskevä ukkonen paiskaa lapun lattiaan ja rään kurkkuun. Kaiken raakuuden ja äkäisyyden vastapainona iloisesti soivat huilut tuo fantsua kontrastia primitiiviseen barbaariuuteen. Korostettakoon vielä, että saatanan hyvä levy tämä rallienkulla vedetty bläkkenrollaus on. Tsekkaa Valley of Shadows ja Echoes of Eternity.

Jarno Sebastian Elg (born in 1975) is a Finnish Satanist (portrayed as Devil worshipper by the media). He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder by strangulation of a 23-year-old man, eating some of the body parts,  and instigating others to participate in a ritual that included torturing the victim while listening to songs from The Cainian Chronicle album by the Norwegian black metal band Ancient on November 21, 1998, in Hyvinkää. Elg's partners were 17-year-old Terhi Johanna Tervashonka from Järvenpää, a 20-year-old man from Mäntsälä and a 16-year-old boy from Kerava. The criminal investigation started when a leg was found from a dump site thus giving the name "dump site murder" to the case. The case was generally described as the most gruesome homicide in Finnish history. Jarno Elg was tracked down by the police and sentenced to life in prison. The Hyvinkää District Court in southern Finland sentenced Tervashonka to eight years and six months in prison for murder committed while still a minor. A mental health examination found her to be partially insane. Riska got two years and eight months in prison for assault and "violation of a grave." The 16-year-old boy was considered to be innocent, because he said that the older people forced him to participate. It was said that the three people "were strongly influenced by Satanism." The court declared most of the details of the case sealed for 40 years. For this reason, only a limited amount of information is available. After the sentences, the media "tried to raise up Black Metal as a scapegoat for the happenings in Hyvinkää." Demonos Sova of Barathrum "tried his very best not to involve Black Metal and Satanism with the murder" and called the murderers "some nutcases," whereas the I Return to Darkness fanzine "fully supports the murder of Hyvinkää and would like to hail in honour all those who participated in it." #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BsaycHpBtyj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e34ps84599ce

BARATHRUM “Infernal”, 1996 (The third and best album from Demonos Sova & fiends. A true masterwork of Finnish Occult Black Metal. Heil Sova !)

“Dread the end of summer On the blackest of all nights, The feast of Samhains waking In the mist of pagan rites. The sunlight now is waning As the undead walk the land. Tonight's chaos - no mortal understands... The festival of darkness Under red october moon The powers of black witchcraft In evil winds of ruin Demons ride the autumn sky In thunder clouds and rain The gasps of forlorn souls who live again. Dare walking this night, ye wanderer, Ye life and soul you'll loose ! When hunted by his jetblack hound, You'll surely meet your doom ! His eyes are burning red like fiery coal, His cape - his leathery wings ! His breath will sear your back like winds from hell”

BARATHRUM “Hailstorm”, LP 1995 (”Formed by Demonos Sova in 1990, Barathrum has long established itself as a pillar of the second wave of Black Metal and a progenitor of the Finnish sound, along with their peers Beherit and Impaled Nazarene. Between 1991 and 1995, Barathrum released a succession of demos, all of which were good, but clearly showed a band still in the process of self-discovery. It was with the 1995 debut full-length “Hailstorm” (released on the legendary Nazgul’s Eyrie label) that Barathrum carved out a truly unique space. On “Hailstorm,” Sova dispensed with the usual guitar-driven composition, and instead used a dual bass performance to channel a gloomier subterranean sound. The immense weight and inertia of the distorted basslines, at once percussive and melodic, carry the mid-paced riffs, elongated and stretched to their limits. The songs are repetitious and hypnotic; the performance is brooding and severe. The production is equally esoteric, defying all convention. The use of six-string guitars is minimal and mixed low, offering little more than texture, capsized in the icy depths of the low-end instrumentation. Sova’s snarling, reverb-laden vocal rasps cut through the dense low-end body of the music, summoning and praising the jetblack darkness and all that which is vile and profane. By pushing the bass to the forefront, “Hailstorm” invites comparisons to Necromantia, but its spacious immensity and authoritative plodding power places it in a category unto itself, like a Black Metal rendering of Swans’ “Filth” album. The sigil adorning the cover of the album, the Seal of the Abyss, is the sign of Barathrum and appears on all subsequent releases. It is the symbolic representation of the band, the yawning darkness of the infinite chasm.” (J. Campbell)

“Oh Hailstorm... I see words of chaos and death Written on your black wings Deicide, genocide Black Metal fills the air Destruction, devastation Massacre and great death Hailstorm, great death Beasts of war Riding on the wings Wings of the storm Great Hailstorm Oh Hailstorm... I see words...”
