The Sins of Thy Beloved

This is only a Fan profile, I apologize for any confusions.



The band was formed in November 1996 by Glenn Morten Nordbø, Arild



Christensen and Stig Johansen. The band was initially called "Purgatory" but



they soon decided to change their name to something less common. Anita



Auglend and Ola Aarrestad quickly joined the band, and they recorded their



first demo All Alone in January-February 1997. Anders Thue and Ingfrid



Stensland then joined before they recorded their second demo Silent Pain in



January 1998. Pete Johansen played the violin on that demo though he did



not officially joined the band until the recording of their first full-length album



Lake of Sorrow later in 1998. They toured across Europe, before recording



their second full-length album Perpetual Desolation in 2000. During the



following tour, Anita Auglend, Anders Thue and Ingfrid Stensland grew weary



of traveling and left the band in 2001. A live performance was released on



CD and VHS in 2001, though it was not distributed worldwide and is thus very



hard to come by. The band has been dormant since the departure of its three



members. Pete Johansen has since left to play the violin on several Tristania



albums.
