Although, not a serious band name, the music of DoomSquirrel should not be taken lightly (uhm, pun intended, I guess). The name itself, originated at the doom-metal.com forums. Some board members there, have adopted a squirrel persona, and began using squirrels for avatars, myself, being one of these people. I had some ideas, and concepts for a darkwave/drone/funeral crossover band for a while. I was not, however, content to just give these ideas a 'typical' doom persona. Once the name DoomSquirrel originated, I knew that I had found what I was looking for.

No... this type of music would hold no interest for major record labels.

There is suprisingly little history, thus far. The project didn't officially exist, until the 24th of November, 2003... and in just two days time, much had been done... including the recording of all music for an EP (though vocals, have yet to be recorded)... artwork for the EP... and of course, this website. So, at the moment, there is not much history to write about.

Fall Of The Grey-Winged One, and Mortiis mainly... but to a lesser extent, the music of Skepticism, Wongraven, Neptune Towers, Thergothon, and Dreams Of Dying Stars has been influential in helping to shape the DoomSquirrel sound, as well.
