Bio
Farmakon was formed in April 2001 in Tampere. The first demo caught the attention of Lee Barrett and the band was quickly signed to Elitist Records, a branch of infamous Earache. The 2003 debut "A Warm Glimpse" caught the attention of progmetal circles, and Farmakon was widely noted by the metal press as a band to keep an eye out for. .. After the rather obscure death of Elitist Records Farmakon was signed by finnish FS Records (now part of Alterstream Music). The second album "Robin" (2007) continues with the band's trademark twist, but also introduces a darker and more focused side of Farmakon. -

Quotes about “The Mirror of Deliverance”:
""Os Vultos" it’s a melo-recitation song in Portuguese with a moody guitar riff ... Its calm and has an excellent spiritual stability ... With brutal vocals comes a drama accompanied with a sublime melody only to turn calm again. It’s remarkably calm, warm and very minimal with a long guitar solo involved in reverb and echo. It’s beautiful in this gentle that radiates in every second. 10/10” In Melodic Metal Sound
“The melodic riff from songs like “Neophyte” and “Os Vultos” has enough quality to compete with the big names of Doom Metal genre.” In Sound(/)Zone Magazine
“It is with an excellent mix between sensual melody, anger and desolation that A Dream of Poe signs a work worthy of the biggest names of this genre. And it promises to be for posterity.” In Via Nocturna
"And when the growls start at "Liber XIIX", I get shivers down my spine, so empathic the vocals are sung. Great!" In Amboss-mag.de
