Despondency

About Me

Despondency formed in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1995, which was then a small town with only two death metal bands. Its line-up was constantly changing due to musical and personal reasons, yet the band managed to continue for many years recording several albums and demos that remained underground. By placing these songs on myspace, I hope to honor the musical influence it had on the metal community in Lafayette as well as the musicians who went on to play with such acts as Liquid Sand, Into Another Sun, Harrowing, 7 Embers, Symphony Infinitum, Wicked Decay, Mausoleum etc... The songs on the site are previously unreleased tracks from the album recorded in 2003. Hopefully, the band will release it for others to hear. These guys are definitely something worth having in your collection.
