Real Doom has to be felt. It has to bewail and it has to hurt. Mirthless adds a deeply passionate
Occult Mood to their classically-flavored brand of Death/Doom
Metal, making A
Dirge For Your
Suicide Mandatory listening for fans of
Esoteric, LOSS, early
My Dying Bride and early Paradise Lost. This analogue-recorded
Masterpiece
is given a 3-panel-digipack including a colored poster (24 x 24 cm) by
Dunkelheit Produktionen. The Artwork was made by Erick Neyra (
Goat Semen) and perfectly matches the sound of the
Occult Hellish elegies. Pre-orders are available at

Mirthless emerged in 2003 with
The Gathering of
Two Sinister souls: Mirthless (
Suicide Voice of Doom
Kult) and
Satyricon (Senile
Dementia in Drums), who were inspired to create music filled with
Despair and darkness. A few months later another fallen soul appeared:
Soulless (Mournful Sound of Anguish and
Pain) with whom the band composed
Two Sad poems and recorded a rehearsal tape during
November and December 2004 called
Rehearsal I. This first demo consists of slow and rough music, hailing the old days of doom
Metal
acts. Those 24 minutes of music received rave reviews in the
underground and earned Mirthless respect amongst the doom community. In
2004, the band entered the El Sotano studios to record the
Remembrances EP. It contains
Two odes of melancholy, lasting almost 26 minutes. The hymns of mournful, torturous,
Insane, sick, suicidal,
Bleak and emotional Doom
Metal leave no hope for the listener, they blacken every day and destroy your soul.
Remembrances is an authentic ode about
Inhuman
emotions, prayers and laments. The lyrics and music are reflections and
channel of the member's thoughts, philosophies, raw emotions and
experiences. The music captures the
Essence of the word Mirthless. In 2009, after several offers Mirthless signed a deal with the Japanese
Kult label Deathrash
Armageddon for a 10-inch MLP. The band entered a local studio to lay
Down their first vinyl, mystically titled
A Las Orillas del Mar.
It contains pure sounds of depression! The Doom formula is to follow
gloomy, deep, screaming or whispering voice, combined with mournful,
heavily distorted guitars and slow drums in the traditional way. The
10-inch received critical praise in the underground, bringing Mirthless
on the radar of Dunkelheit Produktionen, who offered the band a deal. At
this time Satyricon quit the band for personal reasons and was replaced
by Schizophrenic (Disturbed Mind in Drums) in 2011. He had been living
in a mental hospital for a long period. Mirthless soon came to an
agreement with Dunkelheit Produktionen for the release of the long
awaited debut album
A Dirge For Your Suicide, which will be
released in the summer of 2013. The new album will be released in two
different deluxe editions: As 12-inch LP or Digipack CD. Both versions
will contain odes of pure remorse. The music is mainly driven by very
slow, depressing guitar harmonies and is further characterized by
minimal drums, and growled and whispered vocals. The main lyrical themes
are personal spirituality, mysticism and depression. There are moments
of tranquility in the stream of subconsciousness...
