Sar Nath

Sar Nath is formed by former melodic death metal/power metal live musician, Travis Niemeyer. At this time, many opening shows gave his bands fair underground status (opening for acts like Monstrosity, Behemoth, and playing Milwaukee Metalfest 2002). Finding that the music he was involved in at the time was too accessible, melodic, and not tortured enough, a change was made. The first decision was to stop live performances, retreating into a solitary, DIY recording situation in which raw, torturous aural catharsis could be made without others interfering in the honesty of the material's pessimistic and hopeless nature.
