Mysticum is a trailblazing force within the realm of industrial black metal, an outfit that has established a formidable reputation for melding the icy, abrasive essences of black metal with the mechanical, dissonant sounds of industrial music. Hailing from Norway, the band originally formed in 1991 and became one of the pioneers in integrating synthesizers and industrial elements into the traditional black metal framework. Known for their enigmatic presence and dystopian soundscapes, Mysticum created a unique auditory experience that has influenced countless bands in the extreme metal scene.

In their early years, Mysticum captured listeners' attention with their seminal 1996 debut album, 'In the Streams of Inferno', which set the standard for industrial black metal with its unorthodox and compelling fusion of genres. After a long hiatus, the group returned with a monstrous comeback, releasing 'Planet Satan' in 2014, a long-awaited sequel that demonstrated their unyielding commitment to sonic innovation and darkness. In between, fans were satiated with the compilation 'Lost Masters of the Universe' (2004), featuring rarities and previously unreleased tracks that provided insight into the band's evolution. Adding to their discography, Mysticum continued to solidify their legendary status by unleashing the raw energy of their live performances in 'Never Stop the Madness: The Roadburn Inferno' (2019), a live album that captured the chaotic and mesmerizing essence of their stage presence. Despite their sparse output, Mysticum remains an iconic and influential entity within the extreme metal pantheon, consistently pushing the boundaries of what black metal can be.
