Band/artist history
Wraith of the Ropes was formed in 2001. Our first album "Ada" is heavily depressive and could be considered "Doom Metal" by some, though we are not a Doom Metal band. It is a concept album about shattered dreams, ruined lives, depression, death and suicide. Our second album, "Demonic Influence", is now being worked on and will be much more in the realms of Black Metal though the Horror Film Music inspiration will still be just as strong. The lethargic, depressive, suicidal Horror of 'Ada' will be replaced with the hateful, demonic, blastbeat-laden Horror on 'Demonic Influence'. We will still consider our music "Horror Metal" and nothing else. Our allegiance is to HORROR more than any particular Metal sub-genre and we plan to dramatically overhaul and experiment with our sound on every album. Wraith of the Ropes signed to the Israeli Doom Metal label TOTALRUST MUSIC in the summer of 2005. They released our first album 'Ada' on Halloween... October 31st, 2005. In the autumn of 2005, Wraith of the Ropes self-released a new demo / EP called "The Red Door". This EP is only available as a free gift from the band... anyone who buys "Ada" also receives "The Red Door". This EP show our current direction... much more Black Metal influenced than the Doomed sound on our first album.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No, we cannot play live until we find some session musicians. Currently, we need a live drummer, bassist and possibly a second guitarist.
