Intense even by dark metal standards, Deceased to This Globe was shaped in Bergen, Norway, in 2002 like a single task by vocalist and bassist Iscariah (ex-Enchanted, ex-Immortal, etc.), but extended into a complete band using the introduction of spectacularly called guitarist Goatpromoter Lava (ex-Aeternus, Taake) and drummer Mord. Their three-song Dominions of Hell EP surfaced three years later on and was accompanied by a split launch with like-minded purveyors of lo-fi mayhem Audiopain.
