Additional notes:
Thy Serpent started out as Sami Tenetz's one-man project back in 1992. During the first few years he recorded two demos, Frozen Memory in 1994 and Into Everlasting Fire in 1995. Rehearsal demo was also recorded in 1992 but spread only to close contacts.
Thy Serpent call their music "Anti-Christian Dark Metal", being they
believe that black metal is supposed to be Satanic music, and because
they are not Satanists and they don't want to call their music "black
metal."
