Kaamos was a Swedish death metal band that was formed in 1998 and disbanded in 2006. The band's name comes from the Finnish word for polar night. The original members were Johan Thörngren, Thomas Åberg, Nicklas Eriksson, and Konstantin Papvassilou.
The group wrote three songs that they recorded on a cassette in 1999. Two of the songs were released by Dauthus on a limited 7”. After the release, bassist and singer Johan Thörngren left the band and was replaced by Karl Envall.
In 2000, drummer Thomas Åberg quit and was replaced by Cristofer Barkensjö (also known as Chris Piss). They wrote five new songs which they recorded as the demo Curse of Aeons, released in 2001. Kaamos received several offers from record labels, and ultimately chose to sign with Candlelight Records.
In November 2001 Kaamos started recording their debut album. With the aid of Messiah Marcolin, the band recorded nine tracks in ten days. The self-titled album was released in May 2002. Throughout 2002–2003 the band went on a concert tour in several European countries.
In March 2004, Kaamos began recording their second album, Lucifer Rising, which was released in February 2005. After the release, Kaamos went on another concert tour. In 2006, the band announced that they were splitting up. Just before this announcement, they had recorded five final songs, which were released after the band's demise. The resulting MCD was titled Scales of Leviathan and the Greek label Nuclear Winter Records released this MCD as a limited digipak and standard jewel case CD.[1]
After their dissolution, guitarist Konstantin Papavassilou formed doom metal band Head Of The Demon in 2012 with original Kaamos drummer, Thomas Åberg.[2] In 2011, Karl Envall, Nicklas Eriksson, and Cristofer Barkensjo formed death metal band The Curse.[3] In 2013 Barkensjo left The Curse and by next year had formed another death metal band called LIK.[4]
