Arecibo was the side project of Brian Williams (Lustmord).
Under this moniker he released the album "Trans Plutonian Transmissions"in 1994

on the German label Atmosphere (Dark Vinyl sublabel).
Arecibo creates a deeply haunting atmosphere with the use of audio recordings of cosmic sounds 

(pulsars, quasars, thermal radiation, electron partical interaction and even the remains of supernova explosions)

derived from cosmological activity as recorded by NASA's deep space network.
"Trans Plutonian Transmissions" was released as a standard jewelcase CD and also in a six-panel middle-mounted digifile

while in 2009 Soleilmoon Recordings remastered and re-released it in a digipak format with a different cover.

Homicide was formed in the winter of 1996 by Shocker (guitars), M. (bass), Matarru (vocals) and Doomhammer (drums).
Their first songs that they composed incorporated some rough riffs

and black/thrash influences but set the foundations for further songwriting.
That line-up changed in august of 1997 when Mentor (guitars, ex-Zarathustra, ex-Dark Before Dawn) joined Homicide.
The existing songs were revised to include the second guitar.
With further songs created like "Black Crusade", "Raped By The Cross" and "Unique Power"

there was enough material to produce a demo tape.
"Black Crusade" was recorded and mixed by Mersus (Zarathustra, ex-Gospel Of The Horns, ex-Deströyer 666) in May of 1998.
Songwriting was continued and songs like "When Steel Gets Red", "Soulpath" and "Slaughter“s Legacy" were created.
In March of 1999 line-up changed again when Doomhammer left the band and was replaced by Mersus.
Meanwhile the band had some few gigs with Pentacle and Desaster.
Their debut "Slaughter`s Legacy" was recorded in January/February of 2000 in Milkmachine Studio 

and released in September through Undercover Records.
After a gig in May M. left the band and his sit on bass was taken by Necriz (ex-Zarathustra).
In January 2002 one more time a member left the band,

in this case Matarru finished his relation with Homicide and Necriz took over the vocals.
Their sophomore album entitled "Dale Of Lost Souls" was finally released in 2004

and published once more on the German label Undercover Records.

The inspiration to initiate an individual project occurred during Tomas Pettersson's involvement in Archon Satani,

as Mikael Stavöstrand (the other half of Archon Satani) decided to form his side project Inanna.
But Ordo Equilibrio awaited to originate until May of 1993 as Tomas decided to abandon his participation in Archon Satani 

by reason of several insignificant inconsistencies pertaining to the bands current status and continuing progress.

According to Tomas: "Ordo Equilibrio's primary purpose was to serve as the aesthetic

and creative outlet for a multitude of ideas, aesthetics, ambitions and ideals.

And which still remains the primary objective of the foundation today."
The project was initially called Ordo Equilibrio and Tomas was joined on vocals by Chelsea Krook, his then-girlfriend.

Together from 1995 to 1998 they recorded three full length albums and one 7" EP.
In 2000 the band had a change in line-up as Chelsea Krook was replaced by Rose-Marie Larsen.
This also spawned a change in the bandname to Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio.
In 2008 Fredrik Leijström and Ronnie Bäck joined the band on bass and guitar

followed by Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe on percussions in 2014.
Under the Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio moniker the band has released eight albums and one split with Spiritual Front.
