Biography

Circle of Ouroborus is an experimental black metal band from Finland, formed by Antti Klemi and Rauta in 2004. The band’s sound is characterized by lo-fi production, unusual use of clean vocals and sometimes entirely acoustic releases that have very little in common with black metal. Sadness and nature themes seem to be prevalent in their music. While particular influences on their work seem unclear there seems to be an obvious influence of Joy Division, as they covered this band’s classic “She’s Lost Control” on their debut album. They’ve released numerous demos and three full-length albums, as well as splits with Urfaust and Nuit Noire.

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol that depicts a serpent swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. It has been used to represent many things, but it most generally symbolizes the ideas of cyclic existence or infinity.

    Really really unique sounding. Many of Eleven Fingers tracks don't even sound like metal.

    I've read so much shit about this band I was confident I won't like them. But here I am half way through the Unituli and I would say I'm enjoying it. Not bm though.

    Finally took the time to seriously listen to this band by downloading their split with Drowning the Light. So far so good! :)

    the side of the 2012 split with roman cross is unbelievably great! I immediately fell in love.

    If you combine Avain Ja Veitsi and IPSOS into one album (same styles) it makes one great album thats right up there with Fingers Eleven!

    I recall I've seen different vinyl artwork some time ago, but I could be wrong. Glad to have found it anyway!

    There must have been a recent re-release of Streams as well, because I've bought it on vinyl with an alternate cover at Aurora Infernalis Fest.
