THERGOTHON - Stream From The Heavens LP (MARBLE)

Thergothon, from Finland, was formed in late 1990 by Niko Skorpio Sirkiä (vocals, keyboard), Jori Sjöroos (drums) & Mikko Ruotsalainen (guitar). They started life as a death metal act, progressing to slow, seriously heavy doom metal, later becoming classified as pure sadness & despair in musical form. In early 1991, they recruited a local friend Sami Kaveri as a second guitarist & it was in November 1991 that the ‘Fhtagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth’ demo tape was recorded, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. In Autumn 1992, Thergothon started recording their debut album, ‘Stream From The Heavens’. Two tracks from the Fhtagnnagh Yog-Sothoth demo were reworked & recorded for this release. Non-metal influences including prog, goth, ambient & experimental music helped to shape the band’s sound & atmosphere further.
