Con Anima was the brainchild of Stian "Culto" Johansen, once very briefly vocalist for Mayhem 

and also vocalist for Perdition Hearse and Shadow Dancers among others.

Johansen was one of the original founders of the infamous "Helvete" record shop in Oslo 

and previously the editor of the fanzine Sepulchral Noise. 
The band was formed in 1997 playing a mixture of gothic/heavy/doom metal 

and released a demo entitled "The Angel Of Melancholy" in 1998.

The same year they participated in the compilation "Saerpe Metal Union" 

that featured bands from the Sarpsborg area (together with Infernal, Soul Transition and Sunshine's Gone), 

and released their full length album "The Book Of Riddles" in 1999 through Scarlet Records.
