In the unforgiving year of 2005, amidst the echoes of the past and the uncertainty of the future, an enigmatic band emerged from the shadows, destined to forge a legacy in the realms of sludge, metal, and doom. With their haunting melodies and thunderous riffs, they relentlessly captivated audiences for two years before finally disbanding with an unfinished demo.
Until now…
Twenty years after its original conception comes the 2005 demo, mixed in 2005, mastered in 2025.
Says OG member and founder of Mosara, “I sat on this demo for so long anticipating the right moment to release it. I also wrestled with the fact that it would never be released. It’s a great demo, though. I believe it has stood the test of time. There were 4-5 songs recorded during that period with only »Black Rhino« and »Goddess Of Stone« available from the archives. Disposed was recorded at that time, but the only release was (and is) on YouTube, which to this day has racked up 19k+ views since its release in 2006. The last song on the demo was our first ever recording done at the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences (CRAS) by an ambitious and genius student by the name of Shelley Brown, along with Ronnie Faye and Sam Carroll. The song was written approximately a week prior, and the lyrics were written the day before. This song was also recorded live on a stage in February of 2005. It came across as our meatiest and heaviest song at that time and I’m extremely proud of how it came together on both sides.”
We hope you enjoy it.
Stay Doomed!
