Barathrum

The Profile

Barathrum is a Finnish black metal band formed in 1990, known for a distinctive triple-bass lineup and a raw, old-school sound.

Founded in Finland in 1990; plays old-school black metal; noted for using three bassists; discography includes albums such as Legions of Perkele, Hailstorm, Venomous, and Anno Aspera.

One review digs into Barathrum’s Anno Aspera, calling it enjoyable but not a masterpiece. Highlights include “Corpse Desecration,” “Angelreaper,” “G. I. D.” and a darker closing title track. The band’s trademark triple-bass sound is praised for its wall-of-sound effect. Overall verdict: honest, entertaining black metal with some fillers.
