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.<ref name="Metalasfuck.net`s review of Posthum Lights Out">[http://metalasfuck.net/zine/reviews/2012/posthum-%E2%80%93-lights-out-indie-recordings], Metalasfuck.net`s review of Posthum "Lights Out"</ref>
