Phlegethon was/is a Finnish Death Metal band, found in 1988, in Joensuu. Influenced heavily by great Death and Thrash metal bands of the time, such as Slayer and Pestilence they developed their sound to Death/Thrash metal. The band released it's first demo "Visio dei Beatifica" in 1989 with three of the original founding members Teemu Hannonen, Juha Tykkyläinen and Lasse Pyykkö ( also known from bands like Sarnath, Vacant Coffin and Hooded Menace etc. ). In their next demo "Neutral Forest" of 1990, Jussi Nyblom had joined the band, first in bass. The demos was widely valued amongst the Death metal underground, and so did the band get signed to Witchhunt records, through which they released their first EP "Fresco Lungs" in 1991. The band broke up in 1992. They still got together for a while in 1995 to record a promo tape, which after they broke up again.
