Doom metal deepened in 1988 when Nick Holmes and Greg Mackintosh founded this Halifax outfit, joined by Aaron Aedy, Steve Edmondson, and a shifting fifth slot. Their site hails their 'genre-defining gloom,' launched with 'Lost Paradise' (1990). 'Gothic' (1991) fused death metal and melody, inspiring a movement. 'Draconian Times' (1995) hit UK top 20, while 'Obsidian' (2020) proved their staying power—16 albums strong. Over 2 million records sold, they weathered lineup changes, with Holmes’ growls-to-croons shift marking eras. A 2008 Milton Keynes reunion gig with ex-members thrilled fans. Still touring, their dark evolution keeps metalheads entranced.
