Sacrilegium's first demo "Sleeptime" helped to build an underground base and was followed by album "Wicher" ("Stormwind') in 1996.
Influenced by different Black Metal styles, from Greek and Norwegian streams to old school bands, Sacrilegium mold their own style of atmosphere and melancholy ridden, yet violent and hateful music with tasteful use of keyboards. Lyrics that are written and sung in their native language speak mostly about paganism, their slavonic ancestors, beauty of wild nature, but also about grim, cold and dark topics like vampirism...
