Biography

Dark Millennium was formed in 1989 by Theissen and Hesse. After the release of two demos ‘The Apocryphal Wisdom’ and ‘Of Sceptre Their Ashes May Be’ (featuring Torsten Gilsbach on vocals instead of Christian Mertens) they released their debut-LP ‘Ashore the Celestial Burden’ on Massacre records in 1992. It was well-received. The follow-up ‘Diana Read Peace’ with ex-Despair bassplayer Pachura was released in 1993. Dark Millennium then proceeded to disband.

Theissen changed his style completely after he went on to form ‘Cherub’.

The music of the band mostly is based on slow, melancholic riffs, which even today are unreached.

    Ashore the celestial burden it's one of those lost masterpieces of metal that everybody should listen to and not so many metalheads know about...

    I was only wondering where these guys must be. But, following a shout here, i see they have taken to an alternate reality. Electronic and psytrance? Not impressed but nevertheless, the spirit of experimentation is Noble enough.

    Definitely give it a listen first. It's not much at all like their other material, hell it even incorporates clean vocals and is much more melodic! Still a decent album, just not the style you're probably expecting after hearing Ashore the Celestial Burden. And this isn't a hard band to get into--it was love at first sound!

    How does Diana Read Peace compare to the debut? Same style? Worth buying without hearing first?

    Probably the greatest Death/Doom band.
