Semper Dolens is a duo-project between Matthieu Sachs (France, also a member of Lethian Dreams & Remembrance) and Misha Nuis (the Netherlands, also in Akelei & Bastaard). We met on the doom-metal.com forum where Matthieu was looking for a male singer for some new songs he had written. We quickly found to have a similar taste in melody and so agreed to work on this project together.
This is very much an online collaboration, recordings are sent back and forth via email and finally mixed in France. We have just finished working on four songs for our first demo 'Eeuwige Rouw'. These songs are available for downloading here. We're currently looking for a label with the interest of releasing a future album.
The music as well as the lyrics are drenched in melancholy, this is how the first song got its title: 'Melancholied' ("melancholy song"). Melodies and words express the feeling of losing love, hope, happiness... Probably all at once.
For this, the name fits perfectly. Translated from Latin we find ourselves to be 'always mournful'. It was first coined by English Renaissance lutenist John Dowland whose motto was "Semper Dowland, semper dolens". We feel this sadness can be beautiful and try to capture it in our songs. We hope you feel and enjoy it too when listening.

Our second tombstone "The Frankness Eve" is out now at Bad Mood Man Music/Solitude Productions... Press-release from a label: "Mournful Gust - a well known Ukrainian group comes back with a new album after an eight-year break! The debut album was issued in 2000 on MC and has been re-released on CD in 2005 by Soyuz/Metal Agen. Today the group comes back with the new material, combining such styles as: gothic metal, death/doom and elements of the European folk-music. The sated melodies are filled with parts of live flute. The voice of the vocalist (known from his work with Autumnia) transfers a rich palette of feelings and experiences, which have been put in pawn in the English-speaking lyrics, passing from clear singing, to growl. The addition of a 24 page booklet makes this disk a unique eye catcher with pit art." ...and...today is a total updating of our virtual refuge with news/biography/albums/lyrics/concerts/press/gallery/links/contacts and guestbook… The way to us lies through mournfulgust. com
Our full-album "Broken Leaf" is finished! We are on the quest to find a label to get this album released asap! In the meantime, you can check 2 songs already on our myspace!
Doomy regards,
Bert on behalf of My Lament
PS: Only few copies of the "Beneath the hidden" MCD are left.
