Biography

Thy Serpent became one of the few Finnish black-metal bands to make a name for themselves in the European underground. The group was formed in 1996 by guitarist/vocalist Sami Tenetz, the only constant amid a series of personnel fluctuations. Thy Serpent recorded two demos before getting a shot at a full-length album; Forest of Witchery was issued by Spinefarm in 1996. Settling on a lineup of Tenetz, Agathon (synth, drums), and Azhemin (synth, bass, vocals), Thy Serpent made their international debut in 1998 with Christcrusher, released on the Nuclear Blast America label. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Thy Serpent is a Symphonic black/doom/dark metal band from Espoo, Finland. It started out as a solo project from guitarist Sami Tenetz. After two demos, he signed a record deal with Spinefarm Records. Then, Thy Serpent got some band members in order to create a lineup. In 1996, they released their first album called Forests Of Witchery. The track Only Dust Moves was added as a B-side to the CD single The Carpenter by Nightwish. After their debut album's success, two other albums Lords Of Twilight and Christcrusher, followed.

In contrary to statements of Tenetz that they would never play live, they did eight concerts on Finnish soil in the summer of 1999. In 2000, Thy Serpent changed its lineup a little and went to the studio to record the MCD Death. Up to today, this release remains the last heard of Thy Serpent. They seem never to have played anywhere again or released new music, however have also never officially stated that they broke up either.
