[edit] History
The band was started in 1990 by Nicklas "Terror" Rudolfsson under the name Desiderius, which was quickly changed to Runemagic. First, the band consisted solely of Rudolfsson, but he was later joined by Robert "Reaper" Pehrsson. They started out as a pure death metal band but later incorporated doom metal influences, inspired by the likes of Bathory, Treblinka/Tiamat, Celtic Frost, Nihilist/Entombed, and Candlemass.[1]
After a few demos the band fell apart in 1993.[citation needed] Rudolfsson restored Runemagic in 1997 with Fredrik Johnsson on guitar and Peter Palmdahl on bass; he also added the "k" to the name (see also magick). A rehearsal demo with Nicklas on drums was recorded and sent to Century Media Records, which got them a record deal for three albums.[citation needed]
After many line-up changes, in 2000, the band parted with Century Media and eventually landed on the Norwegian label Aftermath Music.
Rudolfson and Karlsson also participate in the funeral doom project The Funeral Orchestra.
