Barathrum are a Finnish black metal band. They were one of the first Finnish black metal bands together with bands such as Archgoat, Beherit and Impaled Nazarene. They originate from Kuopio but have since re-located to Helsinki. The first letters of their full-length albums spell "HEIL SOVA" (referring to the band's mainman, Demonos Sova), which completes their original eight-album plan and they are only touring now.

Stylistically, the music of Barathrum features mid-tempo songs with distinct influences from the earliest black metal acts, such as Venom and Celtic Frost. The lyrics deal with occult and religious themes, often glorifying the Antichrist, often quite humorously. Grammatically, Demonos Sova's lyrics are twisted, clearly showing that English is not his first language. In fact, albums feature names in Finnish, with words such as Perkele and Saatana (Satan).
