We remember the fallen to celebrate what they strived to do because this embodies their spirit, and in some intuitive way we see spirit as the force that animates flesh. In this mindset we commemorate the life of Nils “Nisse” Joel Karlén, who passed away recently.
The band offers the following comment:
With deep sorrow, we share the heartbreaking news that our dear friend, band member, and one of the founders of Sacramentum, Nisse Karlén, has passed away. He chose to leave this world due to struggles with mental health.
At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for his family, friends, and bandmates as we come to terms with this loss.
Thank you for everything, Nisse. You will always be with us.
Suicide is never to be glorified.

Hello Brett:
In your opinion, what made the music of Sacramentum superior to bands like Dissection, Gates of Ishtar, Eucharist, and the like?
Would you say that after Far Away From the Sun they sold out?
Sincerely,
SERIOUS QUESTIONER
What percentage of Generation X has to kill itself before we admit that Baby Boomers were individualistic subhumans? Gas the fuckers.
Dissection is gay pop music, but I think Eucharist’s first album beats everything released by Sacramentum.
Nice of you, man.
RIP Nisse

Dang, that totally fucking sucks a big fucking dick. His band was definitely monumental to me and probably everybody else on this site. Super fucking sad to hear this. Thanks for the great tunes amigo!
Damn. I just saw them live not too long ago. We lost a legend for sure.
Mastodon Guy, go away, you belong far away from this sun
Mastodon is music for faggots, specially the first two records,,, I’d rather listen to Mickey Mouse tunes in one of those plastic record players with plastic records
So you’ve listened to Mastodon?
You poor product people do not realize: you are going to have to exterminate the bureaucrats, Christians, patriots, diversity, poors, and security forces. They will oppose you until the end and you will not be free until they are dead.
I know it’s selfish to lament that we’ll never get the new album that they were working on (they planned to enter the studio at the end of the year) in the face of a great guy dying, but not getting that new Sacramentum album really does add some salt to this one.
It’s just sad all around. Good guy dies, album delayed, band members horrified. How many victims of the insanity of modern society before we revolt, exterminate the bureaucrats, and drive the diversity into the sea?
While Far Away from the sun was a masterpiece from an objective standpoint, I’m finding the songwriting rather gay. The classical-based emo-goth songwriting was done better by Dissection, because at least it actually sounded bitter-sweet and less cute and upbeat like baroque music (which I kind of hate). There’s a reason why Dissection was more popular, and it ain’t herd mentality, sometimes the masses know better than the fake underground elitists. No disrespect to the guy though, it’s not like he was Chuck or anything.
To be honest I think I even prefer Lord Belial – Enter the moonlight gate. I’m going to give Far Away a 7/10, no more.
Also, after “Far Away”, the band made terrible music worse than heavy metal.
Another thing I’ve been meaning to say is the best thing Ozzy did was on his own band. “Ultimate Sin” and “Bark at the moon” sound way better than the overrated “Master of Reality” shit. Sometimes the “pop” approach is just better.

You think that’s edgy? How about Rangarok Arising Realm. The track 04. en verden av stein destroys anything Sacramencum having done.

You replied to a guy called “insane fagfest”. Godamnit, I thought you were smarter, even Brett didn’t fall for this trap…
Everyone here is an insane festival of metrosexuality
No, this is a faggot band that never got accepted for a reason. There’s plenty of good Swedish alternatives out there (Dismember, Necrophobic, and even early Dark funeral).
Sorry, I sorry refuse to dress up as John Malkovich
Tell me about it, I’ve had more fun with early Limbonic Art albums, than this pretentious baroque crap.
Taste in art tends to reflect where people’s IQ falls on the bell curve.
I hope my IQ is beneath 80, I want to beat everyone here at losing.
Well spoke! I’d take Happy Gilmore over that horrendous 2025 Naked Gun “reboot”.
Oh, now they’re sorry, too late.
It shouldn’t be too difficult for you shave off a few IQ points. Just consume more Netflix and Cowboys from Hell or Power Metal for sodomy points.
What would you choose to live without in the world?
A) Walter White’s brand of Classic Coke (TM)
B) Your right hand
C) Your enemies
Sacramentum nailed it… Black Metal’s message is all about expressing and unleashing your inner faggot
Mental health is a serious business that people need to tend to accordingly. I spun Finus Malorum and Far Away from the Sun in his memory. R.I.P. Nisse Karlen
