# Abruptum

**Abruptum** is a death-doom metal band, active 1990 to 2005.

Abruptum is a Swedish ambient black metal solo side-project band. It is run by Evil of Marduk, but the band was formed in 1989 by IT. All, Ext and Evil joined the band later. IT was one of the leaders of the True Satanist Horde, part of the Swedish Black metal scene. Euronymous, co-founder of Mayhem and founder of Deathlike Silence Productions, described Abruptum as "the audial essence of pure black evil". Conversely, Joe DaVita of Loudwire described the cover artwork to the band's 1995 release Evil Genius as "look[ing] like when the mainstream spoofs black metal."
