Carpe Tenebrum  

Carpe Tenebrum is the solo project of onetime Dimmu Borgir/ The Kovenant guitarist Astennu, who plays all the instruments and does most of vocals as well. The first two albums are black metal in the Dimmu mold, while on Dreaded Chaotic Reign the style switches to old-school Floridian death metal. The whole affair comes across as a bit flat, with Astennu not really offering anything new in either the black or death metal genres.

Current Members /Astennu (Jamie Stinson) all instruments/vocals (Dimmu Borgir, The Kovenant)

Former Members/Guests Nagash vocals (Dimmu Borgir, The Kovenant, Nocturnal Breed, Troll)
