WOODS OF DESOLATION was formed by multi-instrumentalist D. in 2005 as a means for personal expression through music. Firmly built upon this ethos, a series of demo recordings garnered a solid following within underground black metal circles worldwide. Continually evolving and working with different guest musicians, D. began to showcase his talent for crafting melancholic, yet at times uplifting, melodies on the debut album Toward The Depths (2008), further refining it on the Sorh EP (2009) and the influential sophomore full-length Torn Beyond Reason (2011).
In 2014, Woods of Desolation released the critically acclaimed third full-length As The Stars. This album saw D. further introduce a wider array of musical influences, such as post rock and shoegaze, into his unique take on black metal, becoming one of the main protagonists in what would become the burgeoning genre of post black metal. Additionally, lyrical themes were expanded beyond what had come before – nature, life, sorrow – now personally exploring the metaphysical aspects of spirituality and the afterlife.
In the years that followed, D. created two new black metal projects REMETE & UNFELLED, simultaneously writing material for the next Woods of Desolation full-length. In 2021, the long-awaited follow up to As The Stars was recorded. This new album, entitled "The Falling Tide", was released in 2022 via Season of Mist.
