Thy Serpent  

Thy Serpent was originally a solo project of guitarist Sami Tenetz, and in fact was still a one-man show even after being signed to Spinefarm -- only then did Tenetz recruit a popular lineup. Christcrusher is the band's most well-known release, a pretty good moody black metal album. Tenetz was quoted as saying the band would never play live, but a few gigs were played in 1999. Little has been heard from since 2000's Death MCD.
