Terhen

Terhen was formed in January 2004 under the name Thamuz. Back then we had a few disagreements in choosing the music style that we really wanted to play. There were also lot`s of problems with the members.

We made four songs and in May 2004 we recorded them for rehearsal purposes only. The demo was entitled Exiled Messiah and it represented our musical interests back then with strong melodic black/death metal influences. It got good feedback from our friends which surprised us totally because the sound quality and the quality of the song material was terrible.

Then we were stunned totally when we were offered to make a song for a fashion show in Beijing. The show was a success. Inspired by good feedback, we started to compose some new material. The new material was strongly influenced by doom metal but it still has remained some of it`s black/death style. We created a raw sound of our own mixing those three genres.

We went into a studio in October 2005. The recording session was exiting and alot of work. We recorded a demo called Self Crusifixion MMV and we were pleased about it`s sound. Songs are crushing melodic doom metal. After the recording session our drummer left because of his military service and lack of time. Now we are promoting the demo and feedback has been fantastic!

Recently Thamuz name was changed to Terhen and band signed a deal with finnish indie label Firebox Records.
