This Empty Flow originated in Turku, Finland, in 1994, founded by Jori Sjöroos and Niko Sirkiä, the creators behind Thergothon, a band recognized for establishing the funeral doom metal genre. Diverging from their initial style, This Empty Flow embraced a sound characterized by melodic elements, gothic rock, and ambient influences.
Their first full-length release, Magenta Skycode (1996), stands as their main commercial album prior to their dissolution, which resulted from differing artistic visions.
Following the band's breakup, several releases emerged: Three Empty Boys (1999), containing previously unreleased tracks and demos recorded between 1995 and 1997; the EP Useless and Empty Songs (2000); and the rare compilation Nowafter (2001). These records have become sought-after by enthusiasts of dark music worldwide.
In 2005, Sjöroos initiated a new project named Magenta Skycode, inspired by This Empty Flow’s debut album title.
Eibon Records issued a re-release of Magenta Skycode in 2006 as an expanded 2CD edition called The Album, which included additional bonus material. To commemorate the album's 15th anniversary in 2011, Solina Records produced a limited vinyl pressing restricted to 500 copies.
