VASAELETH
The band was created in 2008 between Atlanta, Georgia-based multi-instrumentalist O.A. and Dallas, Texas-based drummer Antinom.
The band is influenced by old school death metal bands such as Incantation, Immolation, Rottrevore, Demoncy, and Nihilist.
Before founding Vasaeleth, O.A. and Antinom have known each other for over six years from their work in other projects, including Legions of Astaroth and Dagon, respectively. Despite the distance between Georgia and Texas, O.A. and Antinom, ended up performing at common concerts and festivals quite often and have stayed in frequent contact ever since. O.A. and Antinom formed Vasaeleth due to their desires to work with atmospheres and themes not found in their respective other projects.
On April 17, 2009 Vasaeleth released a two-track cassette demo titled Demo MMIX, which was released through Satanic Skinhead Propaganda in a limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies. The demo featured the songs "Figures of Chained Spirits" and "Adorned and Iridescent". These were the first two songs that O.A. and Antinom recorded as a band and were meant to stand as a sort of "mission statement" for Vasaeleth. Originally, O.A. and Antinom had intended on releasing the demo themselves, but, upon hearing it, Satanic Skinhead Propaganda decided to release it. The reaction to the demo was described by O.A. and Antinom as "overwhelmingly positive", as they noted that it sold out in six days.
Vasaeleth then released the Adorned & Iridescent 7" EP, which consisted of the two Demo MMIX songs plus one exclusive track, "Unmanifest". Adorned & Iridescent was released on 9 January 2010 by Satanic Skinhead Propaganda and Blood Harvest Records. Vasaeleth completed work on its full-length debut studio album Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin in December 2009. Meanwhile, Vasaeleth was signed by Profound Lore Records and arranged for Colin Marston to master the recording. Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin was released on February 16, 2010 through Profound Lore. In 2013, Vasaeleth released the All Uproarious Darkness EP, again on Profound Lore Records.

VORUM
Vorum was a death metal band hailing from Mariehamn, Åland Islands and came to existence in the winter of 2006. The three members J.Johansson, M. Jalava and M. Josefsson started rehearsing almost daily and began focusing on writing songs. After a while the band (then under the moniker of Haudankaivaja) did a demo in the summer of 2007 wich contained 7 songs and was recorded by M. Josefssons brother Jesper. This demo was never officially released. The band played a few gigs in Mariehamn and in late February of 2008, Vorum went to Panu Posti to record a new demo that later came to gather some attention. The demo of 2008 was well received in reviews on internet fanzines like Imperiumi. net but as well in magazines such as Miasma, and a few cd-r demos was sent out to people who asked for it. Vorum has had some radio plays in the YleX Metalliliitto show and was seen on the front cover of the finnish metal/rock magazine “Inferno”. The EP “Grim Death Awaits” (2009) it's the band's first official release.
After the dissolution of Vorum in 2018, members Jonatan and Mikko went on to form Concrete Winds in 2019.
