Band: Somnus

The concept of Somnus was founded in 1995 by Scott Hilberg (vocals/guitar), Erik Rueschman (guitar), and Lou Spencer (bass). 1996 saw the completion of the lineup by Rhiannon (keyboards/vocals) and Scott Shetler (percussion). This eclectic group set out to create a very heavy and intense sound invoking dark and desolate imagery while capturing the full dynamics of an orchestra. After writing the first few songs, Somnus recorded the 1997 demo To Return the Crimson Skies.
