Desire for Sorrow, formed in 2009 as a Czech melodic black metal band, gained recognition with their 2014 debut album "At Dawn of Abysmal Ruination." They enjoyed success at major metal festivals and embarked on European and Mexican tours. After releasing "The Rotten Brood" EP in 2016 and "Visions" in 2017, personnel changes led to a focus on touring. The pandemic prompted founders Jiří Zíka and Marek Horváth to explore new musical directions, culminating in their 2024 single "Give Me Your Eyes," signaling a shift in the band's style and vision.
