Shroud of Bereavement’s music is akin to attending a funeral for everyone you have ever loved. The Boston-based group achieves this moribund feeling by incorporating all the right musical elements: cellos, piano, violin, duo female vocal harmonies layered on top of harsh death vocals played at the pace of mile-long funeral procession. Musical influences ranging from Classical composers such as Mozart and Vivaldi, to Classic metal bands like King Diamond and Candlemass to bands that started the early death/doom movement like My Dying Bride, Anathema and Theatre Of tragedy. providing a blue print for the group to create some of the best doom metal this world has ever heard!

Shroud of Bereavement first began as a solo project of front man, Dan Robinson. In 1999, Robinson released the group’s first recording, “The Forever Dance,” which saw some European success, and through trading, caught the attention of the extreme music underground.

2001 saw Robinson creating what he would call his “masterpiece.” Although “A Rose for a Dying Muse” would not see the light of day for many years, the song proved a catalyst for Robinson’s monster, Shroud of Bereavement. Now, he had the spark he needed to truly make Shroud of Bereavement a band. Robinson gathered musicians from a number of respected bands including MournDrear, December Wolves, Somber Blessings, Dusk Raven, Darkened Soul, Invertia, and In Memorium. This would comprise Shroud’s live band, and eventually provide the musical talents for the band’s forthcoming recordings. Also, this gathering of diverse musicians led to the band’s self-labeling its music as “Neo-classical doom metal.”
