Dusk

Throughout their all too short mid-’90s existence, Green Bay, WI’s Dusk had been responsible for documenting a number of the harshest & most uncompromising music to grace the spheres of doom and death steel; so uncompromising, actually, the fact that band under no circumstances escaped cult position before splitting up. Dusk’s root base date back again to the beginning of the 1990s, with Steve Crane (vocals/bass) and Steve Gross (electric guitar/keyboards) finding motivation in doom/loss of life pioneers like England’s Heaven Shed and My Dying Bride-to-be, and New Yorkers Wintertime, amongst others. After corralling second guitarist Tim Beyer and drummer Ron Heemstra to full their lineup, the music group produced two indie produces in quick succession: 1994’s eponymous initial effort and the next year’s Majestic Thou in Spoil, which noticed them detailed alongside similarly devoted but obscure American severe doom professionals like California’s Morgion, Chicago’s Novembers Doom, and New Jersey’s Evoken. But personal complications ultimately arose between your two Steves, in order that by enough time an extended absent Dusk added the tune “Yearning for Eternity” to 1998’s Visionaries from the Macabre, Vol. 1 compilation, Crane have been changed by a fresh vocalist and bassist. Some more demos from 1997 would ultimately find discharge eight years afterwards, but at that time Dusk had longer ceased to can be found.
