Masshu

Originally formed in Phoenix, AZ, the band was conceptualized by guitarist and vocalist, Storm, in the summer of 1996. Later, joined by drummer Genocide, Masshu recorded Into The Darkness in 1997, which the band produced themselves. It took until 1999 for Into The Darkness to be released, but it still stands as a great Black Metal recording. Not typical of the American Black Metal scene. With Storm as the sole member, Masshu released an EP called Pandaemonium in 2000. The title refers to the abode of all demons in Milton's Paradise Lost. It is the place built by Satan's orders, as the capital of Hell. The CD features three new songs and two previously unreleased demo versions of songs from the Into The Darkness CD.

Masshu has recently finished recording material for a new EP titled Apeiron to be released in the coming months. In addition, Masshu will continue compiling new material for a full length recording. Masshu plays dark and compelling music that expresses Satanic symbolism and occultism. The name Masshu refers to a mystical mountain in Sumerian/Babylonian occult mythology that symbolized the gateway to the underworld or the "Abyss". In some occult texts, it is the lurking place of the worshipers of the "The Great Dragon", Tiamat/Leviathan; representing primeval Chaos. The "Ancient Serpent" called the Devil, or Satan.
