SACRAMENTUM was formed by Nisse Karlén (vocals/guitar) in the summer of 1990 under the name "Tumulus." After a brief period, Anders Brolycke joined on guitar, and a burst of creative energy started to grow. The first official recording was made at the end of 1992, and just before the release of the demo tape called "Sedes Impiorum," the band changed its name to SACRAMENTUM. In February 1994, SACRAMENTUM went to Unisound Studio and recorded the self-financed five-track promo-CD "Finis Malorum," which was re-released by Adipocere Records about a year later. "Finis Malorum" firmly established the band in the global black/death metal underground scene, making people take notice of SACRAMENTUM as a formidable force. During 1994, the band underwent some lineup changes, with Nicklas Rudolfsson (Runemagick, Heavydeath, The Funeral Orchestra) joining on drums and Nisse switching from six to four strings. With this three-piece lineup, SACRAMENTUM returned to Unisound in June 1995 to record their full-length debut, titled "Far Away from the Sun." However, it wasn't released by Adipocere Records until June 1996. In spring 1997, SACRAMENTUM signed with Century Media Records, and the second full-length album, "The Coming Of Chaos," was recorded in June 1997. In September 1998, SACRAMENTUM recorded their third album, "Thy Black Destiny.
