Additional notes
Thy Serpent started out as Sami Tenetz''s one-man project back in 1993, during the first few years Sami made two demos, "Frozen Memory" in 1994 and "Into Everlasting Fire" in 1995.

Thy Serpent call their music "Anti-Christian Dark Metal", being they believe that black metal is supposed to be Satanic music, and because they are not Satanists and they don''t want to call their music "black metal."

Sami Tenetz is the founder and owner of the Spinefarm Records sub-label Spikefarm Records started in 1999 which specializes in extreme metal moreso, than the primary label Spinefarm which tends to sign the more melodic metal acts.
