Miskatonic University

About Me

Multi instrumentalist Wilmar Taal decided during 2007 that a band would be nothing for him. His attempts to form a band with Triplesix, Midian and renowned musicians Toep Duin and Dennis Hartog, turned out as failed, since they both left for Profound. Eventually he started to feel the itch of playing with a band again. After serious soulsearching what style the band would be like, he started developing material that would end up making up the setlist of the band he had in mind. At first the projects name was INDESTRUCTABLE SCHWEINHUND, but it didn't really satisfy, since it had a more comical and funny appearance than a serious one. Once in the car after helping his brother move, the name of the band popped in his mind: MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY. Development went faster after that. A concept was born, songs were written and musicians were approached. Eventually Marco Anjos (drums) and Frank van der Pal (keyboards) wanted to participate, but due to commitments this collaboration could not take place.Another attempt to get Miskatonic working failed also miserably, thus Wilmar would decide to lay Miskatonic to rest. After carefully reconsidering the possibilities, Miskatonic University will be revived somewhere around October, to return as a more goth-rock outfit. Something Wilmar always wanted to do but never found the opportunity for. A new demo is in the making to follow up the now defunct 'Dies Natalis' demo. Plans are made for a full length album in 2009.Welcome to the faculty of terror... ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA'S ARE USED WITH KIND PERMISSION OF THE H.P.
