Even with multiple choice options, we don't think you would have been able to crack this crazy logo.
Give up? It's the Finish outfit Korgonthurus , a trio featuring singer and guitarist Corvus, bassist Necron (Serpent of Wisdom) and drummer Kryth.
Korgonthurus' history is as tangled as their logo. Kryth and ex-guitarist Sedit, who were originally in Everlost, started writing on the side in Helsinki in early 2000 under the name Soulless. They were soon joined by Corvus, but Kryth got into a serious car accident and needed time to recuperate, so the band broke up.
The same members got back together in mid 2000 as as a doom/death band, then during an unproductive practice session, they started jamming on some Darkthrone-style riffs, and Korgonthurus was born.
In 2001, five weeks after their formation, they recorded the demo Root of Evil. Enter bassist Fyrgo, who recorded was onboard for the group's second demo that year, Black Wings of Hate. Soon after the recording was made Kryth left to dedicate more time to a different band and Korgonthurus broke up until 2002 when Corvus convinced Kryth to reform the band. They hired Necron (then a guitarist) and bassist U666 and recorded the 2003 demo Ikuisuuden Arvet But in 2004 U666 quit to focus on other endeavors and Necron switched to bass.
Korgonthurus redid the Root of Evil demo in 2005 and recorded their self-titled debut EP, which came out on Obscure Abhorrence Records later that year. In November, the label will release a new Korgonthurus seven-inch Ristillä Mädäntyen picture disc.
