Thergothon from Finland-one of the pioneers of funeral doom. Hasn't been active for about 20 years. One and only album is this, lovers will love and haters will hate.
The fanbase is still wide as shows the compilation album released by Russian Solitude Productions in 2009: Rising of Yog-Sothoth Tribute to Thergothon

"A little background is necessary. Thergothon are widely considered the fathers of the sub-genre ‘Funeral Doom’. The Rockdetector book, the A-Z of Doom, Gothic And Stoner Metal says, “Thergothon are renowned for releasing one of the most melancholic and bleak doom albums of all time.” (p. 410) Coupled with the facts that the band only recorded one album and broke up before it was released, and the fact the that their only album, STREAM FROM THE HEAVENS, was the first album on the esteemed Avantgarde Musc label, (AV001), this is one of the true gems of doom metal. This an innovative band that is truly deserving of a tribute CD, moreso than perhaps a 13th or 14th tribute to Ozzy!"
