Rīga, Latvia (2001 – present)

Urskumug (former - Raven) came to be in 2001 in Rīga, Latvia, when the twosome of Krauklis (guitar / voice) and Slayorda (keys) was joined by Maero (guitar). Ever since, the sound of the band evolved towards a rapid and atmospheric black metal hailstorm with an intention to avoid live drums, relying on the impeccable soul of the drummachine instead.

In 2002 the band chose its current name, which represents the primordial mythago and the earliest stage of the so-called human mould, depicted as a bear/boar-like half-animal, half-human creature in a cycle of mythopoetical fiction novels, authored by the English zoologist Robert Holdstock. During its first years of pre-conceived existence Urskumug tried out a number of other musicians, however none met the conditions vital to remain with the band.

Late 2002 saw the bands first live appearances and rehearsal/studio recordings. The song When Water Becomes Ice was featured on the then only Latvian metal compilation CD, and in August 2003 Urskumug entered the infamous studio Phoenix in Riga to record their first full-length album Pāreja (Passage). The self-released demo-CD received an excellent response and estabilished Urskumug among the elite of Latvian metal bands.
