Sacrilegium is a cult Polish black metal band formed in 1993. The outfit stands as one of the most prominent and influential entities of the 1990s Polish pagan and atmospheric black metal scene. Their music masterfully balances the raw, primal aggression of classic black metal with epic keyboard arrangements, melancholic melodies, and deep lyrical themes centered around nature, philosophy, and pagan heritage. Following a long hiatus, the band successfully returned to active status, retaining their signature dark and majestic soundscapes. The definitive releases in the band's discography include the landmark "Sleeptime" demo (1994), their classic debut full-length album "Wicher" (1996), and their striking comeback record "Anima Lucifera" (2016).
