IKUINEN KAAMOS are a metal band from Joensuu, Finland. Formed in 1997, they release four demos in the years 1997 - 2004 which are mainly directed to the underground black metal scene. The bands current style begins to take shape in the later demos as IKUINEN KAAMOS start to soak up influences from death, doom and progressive metal.

In 2005, IKUINEN KAAMOS sign a record deal with the Dutch label Descent Productions and as a result, release their debut album "The Forlorn" in 2006. It is an ambitious release that captures the passion and creativity of IKUINEN KAAMOS. The lyrical concept is based upon the story of an old man who murdered his wife and child decades ago, and who now struggles with faith and guilt. Spiralling riffs and progressive rhythms alternating from high-speed passages to acoustic interludes merge with a sepulchral voice to drown the listener deeper and deeper into a timeless emotional abyss. "The Forlorn" is a unique album that captivates from the beginning to the end.
