The band’s origins can be traced to the adolescence of founding members, Fleming and Jdavyd Williams. Their combined classical music training– hers in voice, his in guitar– as well an affection for underground music encouraged the two to create music together. Fortunately, finding eager band-mates was not a problem.
Nathaniel Acker was enlisted on bass guitar, with longtime scene-maker Michael Johnson completing the rhythm section on drums. After witnessing In Tenebris live, Marshall Camden completed the band’s sound by augmenting preprogrammed synthesizers with live, dynamic keyboard work.
Respected and nationally recognized bands took notice, and soon In Tenebris began playing shows with Ours, The Birthday Massacre, Bella Morte and The Last Dance. They also won new fans by playing the following festivals: Reverence, Cirque Macabre, and Eccentrik.
In May of 2007, they released their self-titled debut full-length CD. Re Gen Magazine summed it up best: "A mature, professional sounding effort... (that) conjures up sights of Victorian concert halls."
In August 2007, In Tenebris officially disbanded.

Sunrise
In Tenebris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing continuity
It was never found in me
To comprehend eternity
Everything within your eyes
Limitless as the sunrise
Children take what we can see
There is one thing that I know
Far we've come and still to go
Everything I feel for you
Words cannot express it true
But to love is not the end
For inя you I have found a friend
Everything within your eyes
Paint the world a new sunrise
Martyred by the world it seems
Chosen now to live our dreams
Place your every trust in me
And I'll give mine to destiny
With each and every breath we take
We feel the limit, watch itя break
And all the hopes we should fulfill
With every step were closer still
And we shall reach the greatest height
From the darkness to the light
And all the world within our sight
From the darkness to the light
The lyrics of In Tenebris's song "Sunrise" speak of the fleeting nature of memory and the infinite qualities of love. The opening lines, "Memories fade silently, losing continuity," speak to the difficulty of holding onto memories as they slip away. The singer acknowledges that they never had the ability to fully understand eternity, suggesting that perhaps the fleeting nature of memory is tied to our limited human experience.
However, the song takes a turn towards the positive with the line, "Everything within your eyes, limitless as the sunrise." Here, the focus shifts to the boundless qualities of love and the beauty of the world around us. The singer notes that children can only take what they can see, but that there is still much to be discovered and experienced. They declare their love for someone, acknowledging that words cannot fully express it, but that love is not the end - in that person they have also found a friend.
The final lines of the song speak to the power of determination and reaching for the light in the face of darkness. The singer notes that with each breath they take, they feel the limit but watch it break, and that they are closer than ever to fulfilling their hopes. They declare that they will reach the greatest height and that all the world is within their sight - a powerful message of hope and determination.

for those looking for that spooky song by In Tenebris that they heard once on Pandora, THIS IS IT, despite it having the least spooky name of all their songs

The last three or so minutes of this song really get me. I'm very touched by this band.

It's a shame they only put out one album. I was able to find a copy available online a few years ago so jumped on it.
