When they formed in 1997, Finland's Cadacross played aggressive death metal, but after a set of poorly received demos (1997's Power of the Night and 1998's The Bloody Way) they began adopting more melodic and folk music elements.
Thus transformed, Cadacross -- featuring screeching vocalist Georg Laakso, guitarist Tommi Saari, keyboardist Mathias Nygеrd, bassist Jarkko Lemmetty, and drummer Janne Salo -- made their debut with 2001's "So Pale Is the Light" album, which was released by the independent Low Frequency label.
