Doom Lit Sky begun as a two-piece, formed in 2001, by members Justin Ray (Guitar, Vocals), and Cameron Olson (Drums). Only one show was played with this line-up. Doom Lit Sky later acquired bass player Kyle Ewegen who had been playing in another local band (that shall remain nameless) to add earth shattering low end tones and back-up vocals to help complete the sound. Many shows were played with these members. Second guitar player, Jason Griffith was then added. Their sound then transformed from gritty black grinding death, to a more polished and brutal onslaught of violent and cruel metal.
DLS recorded a demo entitled- "At war with hardcore" which was recorded with long time friends; Bobby Hattenberg, and Bill Nieman. This recording was never massively released. While playing mostly local shows, and some tour dates, DLS then recorded "In Ruin" which was their first full length DIY album; released shortly after. This album contained 9 hymns, all of which were inspired by the relentless abomination of man upon earth and our shared disgust for Christianity. In Ruin was also recorded by Bill Nieman.
Nearly a year after this recording, Jason Griffith disbanded from Doom Lit Sky to fight some personal demons. His replacement; Jeff Huttenmaier was stolen from another local band called Everything Beautiful. This has been the only line-up change in the history of DLS. Doom Lit Sky has played many shows with this like-up; both local and touring in the Northwest.
Recently, DLS has recorded another full-length album entitled "Archaic Immolation" which was released in March of 2009 with Bill Nieman. This album contains 7 tracks of blackened grindcore. To date, Archaic Immolation is the best display of musical evolution that Doom Lit Sky has to offer. DLS is actively playing shows as well as some light touring in the Northwest area.
Doom Lit Sky's influences range from modern death, and black metal to old school hardcore punk rock. They continue to write songs that contain important elements important to it's members- composition, variety, speed, mild technicality, and also keeping metal the way it should be; Brutal.
Full length album entitled "The Rescue," in stores now, worldwide at Best Buy and Hot Topic. Also available on ITunes and Smartpunk.com. Stop by and have a listen.

There once was a time in the land where the sun was worshiped as god and its embrace with the moon made the earth hold its breath as time stood still in silence, and at that hour the smothered sun shall cloak the whole world in the dead blackness of midnight giving birth to the Element Of Eclipse.
shit face! I'm in Portland right now and I really want to go to this show. I'm with family and nobody wants to come with me. Fuck. I hope I can make it.
