Sterbenzeit was born as a solo project in 2006 in the north-east part of Italy. In the first 2 years the work proceeded slowly due to various experimentations and continuous changes of concept, influences and moods.
In the second half of 2008 the Self Mutilation Services label contacts Sterbenzeit and proposes them to become a part of their roster, suggesting a split release with another two bands of the same label. So in march 2009 a 3 ways split with Managarm and 78424325 entitled “Three ways to live in pain” sees the light.
In the same year Misanthr is offered to do the drums session for the songs written in the first 2 years. These four tracks will form the first full-length “Werdet Leiden”, which will come out later, in february 2010.
However, already at the end of 2009 the project radically changes. With the new arrival of Mistyr at the drums the work is developed step by step and with more personality, enriching and giving true dynamic to the guitar tracks, and in this way distancing from the downtempo, cold and cacophonous sounds of the previous works. The music structure is now linked with a traditional black metal and the songwriting, more studied and complex, offers abstract, nihilistic concepts tied to the nature that stands above mankind.
