Still Here. Still Heavy.

It has been a while since we posted here, and that ends today. Threnody has been quiet on this site but never inactive. The music is still out there — all four albums available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer — and thanks to everyone who has continued to listen, share, and reach out over […]

Marcel Gootjes was the drummer on the 1994 European tour followed by […]
