Finland's Thergothon was formed in late 1990 by Niko Skorpio Sirkiä (vocals, keyboard), Jori Sjöroos (drums) and Mikko Ruotsalainen (guitar). They started life as a death metal act, progressing to slow, heavy doom metal, later becoming classified as pure sadness and despair in musical form.

In early 1991 they recruited Sami Kaveri as a second guitarist, recording their Lovecraft-inspired demo tape "Fhtagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth". In Autumn 1992 they began recording their debut album, "Stream from the Heavens". Two tracks from the "Fhtagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth" demo were reworked and recorded for this release. Non-metal influences including prog, goth, ambient and experimental music helped to shape the band's sound and atmosphere further. Thergothon disbanded in 1993, before the eventual 1994 release of "Stream From The Heavens". Over the years the band has earned a cult status in the underground through this single album.

In the mid-late 90's the Funeral Doom genre emerged; Thergothon was deemed as one of the originators of the sound and style and an important cornerstone for the whole genre.
