About Sepulcrum Mentis

Sepulcrum Mentis, whose cryptic name translated into English as "the tomb of the mind", were formed in 1990 by singer/guitarist Marty Kasprzak and bass player/vocalist Ben Zorn. Originally a pure wave-gothic outfit, but started to combine various different musical genres into their own style and experimented with a wide range of instruments, including keyboards, metal guitars, Cello, Viola da Gamba, Violin and the medieval Krummhorn. After several line-up changes the band are now: Den Haack on bass/management Marty Kasprzak on vocals, guitars, programming, percussion Meikel on guitars Joerg on keyboards They have produced four album releases so far, and consider themselves primarily a live band and in the past ten years of their career they have played almost every European country, headlining to crowds as big as 600 people and playing festival as big as 3500 people. They have played in Finland, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Poland and Great Britain and have toured with many other bands such as: Shadow Project, Madre, Marquee Moon, In the Woods, Third and the Mortal, Two Witches, Athamay, Into the Abyss, Printed at Bismarck's Death, Closterkeller ... Over the past 10 years, their sound has evolved into what can be best described as "progressive gothic alternative rock". Although the elements of their main influences, goth/wave outfits from Chameleons to Bauhaus, are altogether prominent, their latest output, "Salvation" is not derivative.
