Carpe Tenebrum is the brainchild of Astennu, formely involved in bands such as Dimmu Borgir (with whom he played on the highly acclaimed album "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant") and The Kovenant (with whom he played on the "Nexus Polaris" album).

The first two Carpe Tenebrum albums got great reviews and response all over the world. This time, for his third outburst, Astennu returned to his Death Metal roots, and the result is a dark, brutal album, that rips everything on it's path to shreds.
