Mysticum is a Norwegian industrial-black metal band formed in 1992, notable for the 1996 album In The Streams Of Inferno and for using programmed drums and cold electronic soundscapes as central elements.

Credited as early pioneers of industrial-black metal; notable use of drum machine programming (Robin "Mean" Malmberg is mentioned in reviews) and cold, electronic keyboard atmospheres. Debut full-length released in 1996.

Mysticum are presented as early Norwegian pioneers of industrial-infused black metal, notable for their 1996 album In The Streams Of Inferno and prominent use of drum machines and cold electronics. Reviews praise their historical importance and sound design while noting uneven compositions and limited recording quality on a split release with Ulver. Overall reception is mixed but recognizes Mysticum's influence.

For:Fans of experimental and industrial-tinged black metal, collectors of rare Norwegian metal releases.

 Mysticum, a Norwegian formation credited with an initial proposition of certain sounds that would find increasing success as the century turned; a seminal band, born in 1992 but reaching their first full-length only in 1996, they were creators of a new wayto conceive black, modernizing it and thus paving the way for contaminations in the years to follow: also unfortunate, as they did not receive any of what they deserved, dying shortly thereafter in the most sordid anonymity.

 Not a proper work, but actually a promotional split for the two bands, attempting to launch each other: a disc containing a track from the Norwegian wolves and one from fellow countrymen Mysticum, which adds absolutely nothing new to the discographies of the two bands.
