Biography
Black Wreath was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in the year of 2002 by Kim Larsen (Of The Wand & The Moon, The Loveless, Saturnus), Peter Mesnickow (Blazing Eternity) and Dave Müller (Chasing Eudaimonia) due to their common passion for heavy, depressive, monotonous doom metal.
However, it wasn't until 2006 that the band found the time to create music and lyrics for their debut album "A Pyre of Lost Dreams".
In july 2008, Black Wreath entered Soundscape Studios with engineer Louise Nipper to record the album, and the result was 4 tracks with a playing time of over 50 minutes of pure, bleak, desolate darkness.
The three epic songs "The Black Holes Of Your Mind", "Nocturnal Dominion" and "Solitude Rising (Missing All Exits)" are all heavy, hypnotic journeys into the underworlds of death, solitude, depression, drugs, funerals and darkness, whereas album closer "Niddstäng " is a very haunting atmospheric ambient piece. The songs however, does posses a big melodic touch thanks to the well-known signature sound of Kim Larsen. In general, a fine mixture of funeral doom, doom/death and more hypnotic, monotone soundscapes.
