The band was founded in November 1992 by: Ilko Gizdov-vocals, Mladen Zahariev-guitars, Andre Mateev-bass and Nikolay Surbinov-drums. Besides the debut album, a couple of songs were recorded during the rehearsal period with an extreme underground sound. The gloomy moods of the dark side depressed every new tone by DESOLATE. In March, 1993 they recorded two demo songs in "City Records Studio" one of which was included in the debut album. In April, 1993 the song "Internal Predestination" was presented on Radio Tangra's "Tock Rock Abrasive" broadcast. Due to mandatory military service, the drummer had to leave the band. In November he was replaced by a new drummer - Ivailo Gamanov, an ex-Death Penalty member. After long nocturnal rehearsals during the winter of 1993-1994, DESOLATE entered studio (Subdibula & Dilemma) in the period of July 5 - 10 and recorded their first album "A Shadowed Dying Conscience" released by No Rip Off Prod. After a prolonged pause of almost a year, the band resumed playing with a new line-up: Ilko Gizdov-vocals and keyboards, Vladislav Stoyanov-guitars, Metodi Pavlov-guitars, Danail Andonov-bass and Ivailo Gamanov-drums. The first ever DESOLATE gig was in the summer of 1996 at the Third National Death Festival. In February 1997 the band released a limited edition of a rehearsal demo (recorded November 1996) entitled "While the Name is Going Away from the Stone". In the same year the band played several gigs in the country, the most important being its participation in the National Summer Festival "Summer Chaos", as well as the Traditional Sofia Winter Concert "Storms in Dreamssilence". In December DESOLATE entered "Graffiti studio" to record its second album entitled "Eventide of the Orb and Heavens", which was completed in January 1998 and mastered in May. In 1998 the band again took part in the National Summer Festival "Hysteria" together with the German headliners Darkseed, of which a live recorded tape, entitled "Four Elements", was released in 1999 by Wizard Company. The tape included four live songs plus a studio cover version of a song by the UK band Anathema. Recently the band signed a contract for a CD release of the "Eventide of the Orb and Heavens" album with X-Rated Records. Currently, DESOLATE is working on a new album, which will be released by X-Rated Records in early 2001. Track List: 1. At God's Hand 2. Fireflight 3. Eventide in Fire 4. Place For Ourselves 5.
