Started in late 1990 with mid-tempo death/doom/black kind of metal style inspired by old death and black metal bands like Celtic Frost, Bathory, Autopsy, Hellhammer, and Tiamat.
The music has developed over the years as a result of several line-up changes, many recording sessions and releases. With the album Darkness Death Doom (2002) and the current line-up, Runemagick has finally shaped an own style and forged the formulas of darkness, death and doom-metal sounds, mixing mid/slow heavy groove with apocalyptic soundscapes.
The line-up has been stable since fall of 2002 with Nicklas Rudolfsson - guitars & voice, Emma Rudolfsson - bass and Daniel “Mojjo” Moilanen on drums.

Maelstrom
The lyrics to the song Maelstrom by Runemagick seem to evoke feelings of seduction, power, and destruction. The lines "Lust magic chaos" and "dragons of cosmos" give an impression of dark fantasy and an allure towards the unknown. The elemental imagery of "volcanic armageddon" and the title Maelstrom indicate a forceful and tumultuous event that may bring about an end or transformation.
The repetition of "lust magic chaos" suggests a mantra for embracing the unknown and the mystical, without fear of its power or consequences. "Praise the magick" reinforces this belief in embracing the occult and all of its mysterious and primal elements. The overall theme seems to be one of rebellion against conformity and acceptance of the darker side of life.
