This black T-shirt features the iconic cover art from the Swedish melodic black metal band Sacramentum's debut album, "Far Away from the Sun". The central graphic depicts a surreal, frozen castle or fortress with jagged peaks and flowing mists, all rendered in shades of blue and white. The band's logo, "Sacramentum," is prominently displayed in a jagged, white font at the top, and the album title, "Far Away from the Sun," is written in a similar style below the castle. The design has been reissued multiple times on various merchandise since the album's release in 1996.
Band Description
Sacramentum is a melodic black metal band from Sweden, formed in 1990 under the name Tumulus. They are recognized for their debut album, "Far Away from the Sun," which is considered a classic of the genre and has been compared to the work of other influential bands like Dissection and Unanimated. The band's sound blends the atmospheric and fast-paced elements of black metal with the technicality and arrangement typically found in death metal.
Following a hiatus, the band reunited in 2019 and resumed live performances. Founding member Nisse Karlén, who was a vocalist, guitarist, and bassist, passed away in August 2025. The band's current lineup consists of Anders Brolycke, Calle Anderson, and Patrick Dagland.
