THE CLASSIC ALBUM FROM THESE CULT FINNISH PURVEYORS OF CRUSHING DOOM METAL - PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD.

Thergothon, from Finland, was formed in late 1990 by Niko Skorpio Sirkia (vocals, keyboard), Jori Sjoroos (drums) & Mikko Ruotsalainen (guitar)

They started life as a death metal act, progressing to slow, seriously heavy doom metal, later becoming classifed 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 infuences including prog, goth, ambient & experimental music helped to shape the band's sound & atmosphere further. 

Thergothon disbanded in 1993, before the eventual 1994 release of 'Stream From The Heavens', though over the years the band has earned a cult status in the underground through this single album. In the mid-later part of the 90's the "Funeral Doom" genre emerged & Thergothon was deemed as one of the originators of the sound & style & an important cornerstone for the whole genre.
