Formed in 1994 in Bradford England. Serenity made there first demo at the inner city studio in Bradford. Containing the Tracks "Black tears", "Then came silence" and "spirituality", the demo bagged them a deal with Up and coming French Label "Holy Records".
In september of that year they made there live debut, Supporting "My Dying Bride".
Soon after, they entered Engine room studios in bradford to record what would be become there debut album "The Came Silence". Aswell as the 3 demo tracks iot also contained 4 brand new compositions including the standout tracks "I am with you" and "The darkest things".
1995 saw Serenity record 2 new tracks, one for a Holy Records Compilation Cd. The track they used was called "Skin of the soul". The other track left over from these sessions was called "The way i bleed" which would later surface on there 2nd album. These were debuted live at "La Locomotive" in Paris France again supporting My Dying Bride.
. In the summer of 1996 Serenity entered the famous "Rhythm Studios" in Bidford upon avon with Producer Paul Johnston(cathedral, Soitude Aeturnus, Benediction) to record there second album "Breathing Demons". By this time bass player brendan dawson had been replaced by Robin Gillard. The album was a vast move foward for the band, beefing up there sound but still retaining the melancholic feel of the first. This was most evident on the track "The way i bleed" which was re written and re recorded for this album.
Soon after the release of this album, the band broke up on the eve of a UK tour. Some more tracks were written after the singer departed but these were never released.
Lee, Rich and Gary went on to form cult stoner group "Khang" which in turn became "Lazarus Blackstar"....
Out of all the members of Serenity, only Lee and Rich seem to continue to play in bands, Lee in Lazarus Blackstar and Rich in the Gods of Hellfire. The other members went on to concentrate on there families
