History

Enthrope was formed in 2006, when Jani Juhola (guitar, synths) and Ville Keinänen (guitar, synths, backing vocals) decided to form a band to fulfill the musical style they had had in mind for a longer time. The idea was to combine dark, death metal music with more atmospheric and ambient sounds to fulfill the concept.

In order to have a full band around the idea and songs, they searched for some like-minded individuals able to carry the musical ideas with their instruments. Miika Partonen (vocals), Mikko Mustonen (drums) and Juha Sorsa (bass) were quickly drawn to the idea and the band started to develop ideas and rehearse the material.

In December 2006 the band entered D-Studios in Nurmijärvi to record all the drums and guitars for the 'Universe Mute' promo-CD. Other parts were recorded at the bands’ own Dismal Studios in Espoo. The mixing and mastering was done by Jarno Hänninen in D-Studio in the end of February 2007.

In the beginning of 2008 the band had enough new competent material that it was again time to enter D-Studio. The results from the sessions can now be heard on the EP called 'Silenced Earth' which has continued to develop the style even further.

In autumn 2009 the band decided to start recording its first full-length album in the already proven facilities in D-Studio. The material was very strong and during the recording process the band also started negotiations with a possible candidate to release the album. In April 2010 the album was mastered in Sweden and Enthrope signed a deal with Swedish Supernova Records, a rock/metal sub-label owned by Bonnier Amigo Music Group. The album was named as 'Tomorrow's Dead Days'. The 1st digital single from the record, 'Moon Chains Descent' was released in mid-May 2010 and the album was released in early June.
