Thy Despair

Country: Ukraine
Genre: Dark Symphonic Metal
Founded: 2006      

Thy Despair band was formed by Nephilim in the fall of 2006. The band first had the name Thoughts of the Desperate, and played gothic doom metal. But later the music became faster, more aggressive and the name was transformed to Thy Despair in 2008.

Thy Despair were active during 2006-2010 and 2014-2015 and evolved to dark symphonic metal. Multiple demos were recorded but not published officially during that period. 

In 2017 Nephilim renewed Thy Despair with the new line-up and the new era in band’s history has started.

The band started with recording EP album called The Free One.  It was released on May 16th, 2018 in two languages: English and Ukrainian. The lyrics were strongly influenced by war in Ukraine. Man’s aspiration for freedom and his scramble with insidious creatures willing to enslave his body, mind, and soul was the main idea the band developed in its lyrics.

2018-2019 Thy Despair played lots of shows in small clubs and Ukrainian open-air.

In May of 2019 the band has released a tribute to Game of Thrones main theme on Youtube with authorial sympho dark metal music, lyrics and epic video.

In May 2020 Thy Despair has released the LP Album called The Song of Desolation and a video clip on a song Army of Dead
