Ikuinen Kaamos is a metal band from Finland. The band was formed in 1997. As a result, Ikuinen Kaamos released two demos in the following year. The demos were mainly directed to the underground black metal scene. After the second release the band drifted into a dead-end and they decided to split-up.

In 2003, one of the founding members of the band, Jarno Ruuskanen, wanted to bring Ikuinen Kaamos back to life. The band's style began to take shape. They started to soak up influences from death, doom and progressive metal. New members were introduced and the band released two demos in 2003 and 2004. The releases received excellent feedback from the media and fans. Ikuinen Kaamos was ready for the next step.

In 2005, Ikuinen Kaamos signed a record deal with a dutch label Descent Productions. The band entered EastVoice-studio in august of 2005 to record their debut album The Forlorn. It is an ambitious release that captures the passion and creativity of Ikuinen Kaamos. The lyrical concept is based upon a story of an old man who murdered his wife and child decades ago, and now he struggles with faith and guilt. The Forlorn is a unique album that will captivate the listener from the beginning to the end.
