The gateway to this melancholic kingdom of sadness and grief was opened in July'92, by vocalist Tear and drummer Flame. At the time, proceedings took place under the moniker of Incarnated. The first piece of dramatic art was recorded in October'93 and released in the form of 400 free copies worldwide. The reactions to this debut release were extremely positive and heartening. Meanwhile, around middle'94, the band definitely needed a name change… Desire was born…To quench the growing interest of some internationally active labels, an "Advance Tape" featuring two new songs was recorded in March'95, with the intent of finding a record deal. Late'95, and after studying some deal offers, the Portuguese label Skyfall Records was the chosen one to release Desire's dramatic concept album "Infinity… A Timeless Journey Through An Emotional Dream", something which only happened in July'96. Both the national and international specialized press considered this album one of the best Portuguese releases of that year and the first one appearing in Portugal introducing such a mournful, melodic and misanthropic sound. After some successful live presentations promoting the debut album, the band entered the studio in March'97 to record the second effort: the MCD "Pentacrow", which represents the band's fifth year of existence. In this work are gathered some of the most important steps in the band's career: over 45 minutes of tragic, melancholic and depressive musical landscapes. This album can truly be considered one of the most successful Portuguese Metal releases of '98. Problems with Skyfall related to bad promotion and distribution policy with the release of "Pentacow" led Desire to rescind the contract with the label. Around the fall of '98, the band started to write material to be featured in a new opus and a new line-up was gathered in order to set off in search of a new label. In May 2001, Desire finally hit the L'Enfant Terrible Studios to record their latest concept album. It was baptized "Locus Horrendus - The Night Cries of a Sullen Soul" and none other than Mika Jussila mastered this creation at the Finnvox studios. Press response has been tremendously enthusiastic and heralds a new epoch for Desire, who are currently constructing their new website. In the meantime, a suitable distributor has been found in the Dutch label Two Fat Men (Germany, Austria, UK, Ireland, Benelux). This means that the dark jewel that is "Locus Horrendus" will finally be available in the stores very soon!
