Shroud of Bereavement plays Neo-Classical Death/Doom Metal, with the use of violins, keyboards and females vocals. The music deals with the issues of grief, loss, torment and depression. Shroud of Bereavement was formed in 1996 by Dan Robinson as a solo project. After spending five years writing and recording various demos, Robinson met co- producer Matthew Hajiads, who then introduced him to legendary writer/producer/engineer/violinist Andy Happel of the band Thanks to Gravity. Robinson, then enlisted Happel's talents as an engineer and a violinist. Again, he was introduced to yet another legend, Hank Deckken (Metal Blade artists, Nevada Beach), owner of Dizzyland Recording Studios Rochester, N.H. There, Robinson spent over 30 hours recording the first cut, A Rose for a Dying Muse from the forth coming album. The song took an entire year to compose...Rose was written for the death of Robinson's best friend, Dave Theberdge, in 2000. Robinson shopped it around in search of a live band. After enlisting the drummer, Dan Clarke, of Seattle's own In Memorium, things started to take shape. Now, with a full live band featuring Julie Rousseau on keys, David Starratt of Somber Blessings on bass , Dan Robinson on vocals and guitars, Mike Sousy on stnths and Kelly Ann Sullivan on vocals. Together they form the seven piece metal dirge that is Shroud of Bereavement... Most recently Robinson has finished recording Alone Beside Her, the title track of the forthcoming album. This recording includes Andy Happel on bass and violin, Jenn Judd on vocals and Robinson on guitars and vocals. Shroud has also appeared in the November 2003 issue of Metal Maniacs. This magazine will also feature a Screaming Ferret compilation with A Rose for a Dying Muse in a upcoming issue. 2004 saw the addition of guitarist, and seventh member, Mark Guy who has played in several bands before, including a short time with local metallers Dusk Raven, and Dungeonbat. His playing brings a missing dimension to the live Shroud experience. Be sure to check them out live! |
