Runemagick is a Swedish doom death metal band. They started out as a pure death metal band but later incorporated more and more doom metal incluences. The band was started in 1990 by Nicklas "Terror" Rudolfsson under the name Desiderius which was quickly changed to Runemagic. After a few demos the band fell apart. Rudolfsson restored Runemagic in 1997 and added the "k" to the name.
