The roots of Officium Triste go back to the early nineties when Martin and Johan decided to form a metal band. The name of this band was Reïncremated. The last line-up of this band decided to quit and reform under a new moniker with a different musical approach; that was in the spring of 1994.
The new moniker became Officium Triste and musically they started to compose heavy and melodic doom metal. The start of Officium Triste went pretty smooth and new songs were composed quite fast. This resulted in the decision to record a demo. This demo was recorded in the summer of 1994 at the Elektra in Sliedrecht on the 4th and 5th of August. The recordings were low-budget, using a 4-tracker.
This recording-session resulted in the “Demo ‘94” with 3 songs and an intro on it. The reactions from the underground scene were very good and eventually all 200 copies were sold out. The music on this demo resulted in a deal with a label called Fuck You Records for a 7” EP. Officium Triste entered the Excess-studio in Rotterdam on 19 and 20 February 1995 to record 2 new songs and an intro.
Due to the incapability and “supposedly” lack of money the label didn’t do anything. So, after a year of delay, the band decided to release the EP by themselves. Vocalist Pim started Weeping Willow Records and released the EP “Mountains of Depressiveness” pressed on red vinyl limited to 500 copies in the summer of 1996. In between bass player Maarten left the band in the summer of 1995, being replaced by Johan. Although the recordings were over a year old, the reactions within the scene were very good.

Thanks! I'm doing the best I can. As far as lyrics are concerned I know I can't please everybody, but I write what I feel is appropriate and I don't want to copy. Anyway, good to see you guys like our music!!

Since I write the lyrics I think this is quite interesting. I don't see how I could put more thought into the lyrics. I do think about it and I like to be to the point. Plenty of other bands with lyrics to think about. This is just my style! ;o)

I disagree with this V . I like how straight to the point the lyrics are, they play with enough conviction to get their message across in a simple way .

Great sound but in my opinion they need to work and put more thought in their lyrics...their just...holding back the band to say the least. Sorry to piss some of you off.
