Stigma Diabolicum

Stigma Diabolicum are a Norwegian black metal band who started in the late 1980s. The band released the demos «Luna de Nocturnus» in 1989 and «Lacus de Luna» in 1990, laying a solid foundation for what was to come later. The band were originally formed by Marius Vold and Snorre Ruch during the summer of 1989, and in 1990 they were joined by Bård «Faust» Eithun on drums and Harald Eilertsen on bass. Shortly afterwards, the name was changed to Thorns. In 1991, Thorns released -the now legendary demo «Grymyrk», followed by «Trøndertun» in 1992. The demos circulated throughout the underground and became an important influence on the Norwegian black metal sound, including bands such as Mayhem and Satyricon. Stigma Diabolicum are now back with original members Marius Vold and Harald Eilertsen, joined by other well-known musicians, and will play a select number of shows. One of them will be at Inferno, where they will perform material from the early Stigma Diabolicum and Thorns demos.
