Terminus Episode 174 - Sacramentum and the Roots of Swedish Black/Death
Episode 201
Wednesday, 10 September, 2025

In the wake of the passing of Nisse Karlén into eternity, it seems only appropriate to pay tribute to a titan of extreme metal. Sacramentum's unique style of melodic black/death metal not only placed them directly alongside bands like Dissection and Dawn, but established melodic ideas and ambitious structural methodologies that would only take root more popularly decades later. Come with us as we take a look at their earliest material and attempt to trace their roots forward up to newer foliage. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:15:44 - Finis Malorum 0:54:30 - Interlude - Vinterland - “Still the Night is Awake” fr.
