CREMATORY were founded in January 1991 and have grown to become Germany's leading Gothic Metal band, with 17 studio albums to their name.
Their versatile sound ranges from Melodic Death Metal to Electro/Dark Wave-inspired parts, some of which are performed in German. Alongside 90s cult acts such as TIAMAT, MOONSPELL, THE GATHERING and PARADISE LOST, CREMATORY are one of the most successful representatives of their genre.
“Engulfed In Darkness” is their very first demo tape, released in February 1992, now available for the first time as a Mini-LP, limited to 500 copies in colored vinyl. The line-up at the time, featuring singer Felix Stass and drummer Markus Jüllich, included guitarist Lotte Först and bassist Marc Zimmer, who went on to become the frontman of MYSTIC CIRCLE. A legendary demo, remastered by current CREMATORY guitarist and producer Rolf Munkes.
