Carpticon is a black metal band from Jessheim, Norway. Carpticon was officially founded in December 2001 by Brigge and Ishtarh.
Carpticon was at the beginning called “Svitjod”, but after a while they found out that the name was occupied so they had to change it. Some time went by and many suggestions where considered and they came up with “Infernal Fiend”, after a short time they decided to change that one too and ended up with Carpticon.
They started to rehearse at the local Rock club at Jessheim. And at this time they only where the two founding members. Since they both played guitar they needed other musicians to do the rest, but that was not so easy that they hoped. After a while they managed to collect a whole lineup in 2002 and they recorded a single called “The Art Of Darkness”.
The Art of Darkness was recorded on a eight track HD recorder and the production and sound quality was not what they was expecting, but it was an experience to build on. they continued writing songs and few months later they had written around eight tracks which they was practicing as often as three - four days a week. The members that contributed on the recording of “The Art Of Darkness” where now leaving the band, and they was back with only two guitars again.
In late 2002 the former guitarist of Mandylion, Hellspawn joined Carpticon.
