Finland's self-appointed "Anti-Christian Extreme Metal" outfit Funeris Nocturnum was formed in late 1998 by singer Torment (later rebaptized Trmnt.xes), guitar player Grimort, and drummer Draco. Their destination: to emmulate the rawboned, black metal saturation plant down by the likes of Marduk and Dark Funeral in front them. Their first demonstration, suitably named Slay and Burn, arrived a year later and helped them ensure a deal with independent Woodcut Records, which issued the band's first album, Pure Satanic Blasphemy, in the springtime of 2000. The undermentioned year's sophomore From the Aspect of Darkly Illuminated was at one time technically superior and given to a more ambitious symphonic mode of black alloy, the band today adopting silver face paint during its concerts for added effect. Funeris Nocturnum carried on expanding their transonic palette with 2002's Code 666: Religion Syndrome Deceased, which byword lone leftover original member Trmnt.xes aided by guitarists ImpresouvenairMort-nèrgal and Sin'equamnon, keyboardist Ruho, bassist Horgath, and drummer Tmon.
