Tiamat
Tiamat formed near Stockholm, Sweden in 1987 under the original name Treblinka, playing raw black/death metal before renaming after the Babylonian deity and releasing their debut Sumerian Cry in 1990. Under the direction of guitarist and vocalist Johan Edlund, the band underwent a series of dramatic stylistic transformations: Clouds (1992) introduced gothic influences into their death-doom foundation, and Wildhoney (1994) is widely regarded as a landmark of progressive and atmospheric doom metal that earned the band festival slots at Dynamo and Wacken. Later albums including A Deeper Kind of Slumber (1997) and Judas Christ (2002) moved toward gothic rock and alternative sounds. Tiamat are recognized as pioneers of both gothic metal and atmospheric death metal.
