In the year of 1990 the sign of Runemagick started to take form. The first months it only existed as a one-man project formed by Nicklas "Terror" Rudolfsson inspired by bands like Bathory, Treblinka/Tiamat, Celtic Frost, Nihilist/Entombed and Candlemass. Some songs were recorded on an old Fostex 4-tracker machine and were only spread by tape trading. Then Robert "Reaper" Pehrsson joined as a permanent member on guitar and vocals. His vocals was more high-pitch so the material sounded quite Bathory inspired. With this 2 piece line up they recorded the first official demos during 1991-92. One demo called "Fullmoon Sodomy" was official released by the (rip off) label Chaos Productions (Swe). The band never received any copies but it got great response in the underground. The first gigs were made in 1992-93 with session members like Johan Norman (later in Dissection, Soulreaper) and Alex Losback (later in Cardinal Sin).
In 1993 the band almost signed a deal with an US label but suddenly the owner disappeared after rumours of being a rip off bastard. A bootleg demo and 7" vinyl of the "Fullmoon Sodomy" was released in Poland, no copies to the band. The rehearsal place was gone and there were hard problems to find permanent members. This was a year of total misery so Nicklas decided to put the band on ice for a while.
In 1997 it was time to resurrect the band again. After listening to the old tapes Nicklas decided to find new members and continue with Runemagick. .....
