Posthum is a black metal band from Nannestad, Norway. The band was founded in 2004 by Jon Kristian Skare (guitar, bass, vocals) and Morten Edseth (drums). The music is more to the ambient/progressive side of the genre than the aggressive, and can be compared to acts like Wolves in the Throne Room, Ulver, or old Enslaved., Metalasfuck.net`s review of Posthum "Lights Out"
