Shape Of Despair - Band Biography and mp3s/songs,Hardcore Music/Emo Music/Screamo Music/Metal Music/Punk Rock Music ... Shape of Despair came into being during winter 1995, the brainchild of band leader Jarno Salomaa (guitars and synth) and Tomi Ullgren (guitars). While the debut "Shades of." caused quite a stir in the underground, their aim became unwavering for the second one and "Angels of Distress" was a bull's-eye shot, a defining moment for a talented band already well set in their ways. But Shape of Despair seems to be a little harder, which is good. www.stereokiller.com /bands/shapeofdespair   (369 words)

DigitalMetal.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) In a way, Shape Of Despair sound like a direct reaction to the overwhelmingly upbeat and commercial trend in metal, replacing glitz and pomp with the harsh reality that all life ends. Shape Of Despair’s form of songwriting takes time to develop, and unlike some of the bands (Evoken, Esoteric, Dolorian) I’ve heard actually build the soundscape to crescendo, unfurling all sonic devices to canonical proportions. In the end, I would like to see Shape Of Despair shortening their songs and relying less on female vocals and atmospheric filler (see "To Live for My Death...") as such devices when used unsparingly detract from the overall arctic foundation. www.digitalmetal.com /reviews.asp?cid=4296   (557 words)

::.. Metal Monk UK ..:: - Review: SHAPE OF DESPAIR - Shape of Despair Shape of Despair is an apt name for a band that makes funeral doom of epic proportions. A pre-version of the lovely ‘Sylvan-night’ from 2000s ‘Shade Of ’ is an interesting addition, shorter and lacking some of the atmospherics of the later version’s outro section, it is still interesting to note the progression from an early version to the final one. Following this is a track from Shape of Despair’s 1998 promo tape. www.metalmonk.co.uk /reviews/rev_0087.html   (631 words)

Ink 19 :: Shape Of Despair Out on a mission, it seems, to amplify every misconception you ever held about Scandinavia, Finland's Shape Of Despair are desolate, dreary, ice-cold, dark, gloomy and doomy.

MySpace.com - Shape of despair - Helsinki, FI - Metal / Gothic / Down-tempo - www.myspace.com/shapeofdespair In the past few years, Shape of Despair have become a force to be reckoned with, being very much the doom band in Finland outside the traditionalist school exemplified by Reverend Bizarre (another luminary of the diverse Spikefarm roster). To celebrate the long-lasting co-operation between Spikefarm Records and Shape of Despair, here comes along a gargantuan slab of damnation from Finlands premier funeral doom outfit in the form of a rarities compilation. Turbonegro may not have had Shape of Despair in mind when they asked if you are you ready for some darkness?, but the question is ever valid. www.myspace.com /shapeofdespair   (597 words)

Shape of Despair - Biography - AOL Music Originally conceived by guitarists T.U. (rhythm) and J.S. (lead) in 1995, Finland's Shape of Despair combined the doom/death sound of early-'90s pioneers like Paradise Lost and Anathema with the synthesizer-laced, panoramic goth metal popularized in the late '90s by Tiamat and Moonspell. In order to avoid being confused with New Wave of British Heavy Metal stars Raven, they also adopted the Shape of Despair name at this time.

DigitalMetal.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) An old adage says, "You are the product of your environment." For Finland¹s Shape Of Despair, the country's long, cold winters must have a resounding importance on the way the band envisions and arranges its songs. Masters of their own genre, Shape Of Despair begin each dirge slowly, allowing each somber nuance to deeply sink in - to penetrate the deep recesses of the mind. Unlike most application of female vocals, however, Shape Of Despair uses them to complement the guitar and keyboard lines - They¹re soft, inobtrusive and unbelievably glacial. www.digitalmetal.com /reviews.asp?cid=293   (342 words)

Shape of Despair - 'Angels of Distress' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground] Shape of Despair mixes the two extremes very well. It conjures up images of a long of people dressed in fl, carrying their dead down a path as it rains. I'm not one to usually get swept up into the emotion behind the music, but Shape of Despair definitely possess the power to make you feel their music, as much as you hear it. www.into-obscurity.com /reviews/reviews.asp?reviewID=349   (254 words)

Shape Of Despair - Angels Of Distress After what was arguably the darkest Metal album ever released, anyone having heard it either surrendered to their depressive inclinations and leapt off the nearest high-rise apartment or overdosed on potent anti-depressants. SHAPE OF DESPAIR had successfully created the dreariest, most unrelentingly fatalistic fog of an album to be unleashed upon humanity and those of us who somehow crawled ourselves out from our hopelessness suddenly found that we craved more punitive action. The haunting female serenade of wailing is as much a part of this album's miserable demeanor as it was with the prior effort and is what truly makes SHAPE OF DESPAIR so effective at creating dark atmospheres. www.fortunecity.com /tinpan/4skins/212/shapeangels.html   (508 words)

BNR Metal Pages -- Shape Of Despair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Shape Of Despair have been playing their unique brand of funeral doom for a decade now, having formed in Finland in 1995. The key word here is slow, indeed, but not slow in the dreary, plodding sense, but more in the gentle ebb and flow that the guitars and keyboards put forth. Funeral doom is often an acquired taste, and while Shape Of Despair may not be for everyone in the metal world, their take on this extreme form of music is arguably a bit more palatable than others in the field. www.bnrmetal.com /groups/shod.htm   (116 words)

Doom-metal.com: Reviews - Shape of Despair Shape of Despair have already earned a place among the funeral doom elite with their debut album 'Shades of...', but their second opus 'Angels of distress' should -in an ideal world- make of them one of the most important contemporary doom bands. Their extremely melancholic, ultra slow and moody doom makes even the most insensitive ones among us feel like breaking down and cry at the unheard intensity of their frozen emotions. This is definately Shape of Despair you're hearing. www.doom-metal.com /reviews/sod.html   (821 words)

Blistering.com :: Music :: Reviews :: Shape Of Despair - Angels Of Distress EP Shape Of Despair - Angels Of Distress EP (Relapse) It’s all a bit evocative of old Paradise Lost or Cathedral, but only insomuch as it improves on what they’ve already done.

CoC : Shape of Despair - Illusion's Play : Review It's never easy to come up with a suitable follow-up to a great album, and Shape of Despair's second effort _Angels of Distress_ was just that. Its successor, _Illusion's Play_, starts things off in typically laid back fashion with a lengthy instrumental intro, as if Shape of Despair are in no rush to prove anything to the listener. Overall _Illusion's Play_ is a worthy follow-up to _Angels of Distress_, and although it may not cause as much of an impact, it should still satisfy fans of the band. www.chroniclesofchaos.com /Articles.aspx?id=2-3642   (410 words)

CoC : Shape of Despair - Angels of Distress : Review Shape of Despair's debut album _Shades Of..._ was not that great -- apart from the monumental "Down Into the Stream", it lacked consistent quality. This is music for those who find My Dying Bride a tad cheerful, those who like soothing melodies played at 0.03 mph, and those who want sheer depression shot right into their system. Featuring five songs (averaging eleven minutes each), Shape of Despair use violins, synths and the aforementioned siren song to create an enchanting mix of melody and variation. www.chroniclesofchaos.com /Articles.aspx?id=2-2129   (231 words)
