Black Crucifixion is an extreme metal band from Rovaniemi, Finland.
They were active in the global underground metal scene from 1991 to 1993 releasing two mini-albums The Fallen One of Flames and Promethean Gift. The Fallen One of Flames has also been re-released numerous times. Some of the editions are remastered, which explains the differences in the sound quality, which even at its best is very loyal to the clumsy aesthetics of the first wave of black metal.
The band started to record called Faustian Dream in 1996 but it was not completed until 2006 when it was released by Paragon Records (in USA) and Soulseller Records (Europe). The album shows a very different but more developed metal band. In a recent interview the band called their music "dark metal, even though who gives a shit about the categories."
The cover booklet of the Faustian Dream USA pressing states the following about the line up: "E.Henrik: Instruments, Forn: Voice and instruments, Lehtar: Drums". According to their interview the Faustian Dream album took ten years to record and mix.
