Additional notes
Originally started as grindcore, but after Satanas Tedeum they became a straight up black metal act. In due time, with the release of A Dead Poem, the band headed towards the gothic realm and lost most of their black metal element. They started going back to their heavier sound on Khronos and on Sanctus Diavolos they blackened their sound even more. With Theogonia, the band had started incorporating many folk elements in their sound.
