Despite years of a rumored reunion, Pete Johansen officially announced that they had split up in 2013. That same year, band members Anders Thue and Stig Johansen formed the band Savn with Midnattsol singer Carmen Elise Espenæs.
The band was formed by Glenn Morten Nordbø, Arild Christensen, and Stig Johansen. They initially went under the name "Purgatory" but they soon decided to change their name to something more original. Anita Auglend and Ola Aarrestad joined the band shortly thereafter, and they recorded their first demo "All Alone" in January-February 1997.Anders Thue and Ingfrid Stensland then joined before they recorded their second demo "Silent Pain" in January 1998. Pete Johansen played violin on the demo, though he had not officially joined the band until the recording of their first full-length album "Lake of Sorrow" later in 1998. They toured across Europe, before recording their second full-length album "Perpetual Desolation" in 2000. During the following tour, Anita Auglend, Ingfrid Stensland, and Anders Thue grew weary of traveling and left the band in 2001. A live performance was released on CD and VHS in 2001, though it was not distributed worldwide and is thus very hard to come by. The band has been dormant since the departure of its three members. Pete Johansen has since left to play the violin on several Tristania albums.
The band is often compared to gothic metal bands such as Tristania and Theatre of Tragedy, mainly because of the band's combination of a female soprano voice with male death grunts; this trait is common to gothic metal in general, and is known as the "Beauty and the Beast". Their music features death metal/doom metal rhythmics enhanced by the prominent use of violins, especially on the "Lake of Sorrow" album, typical of many gothic doom metal bands. Their live recordings offer a sound closer to traditional death metal than their studio albums which make heavy use of arrangements and effects.
In 2007, it was rumored that Anita Auglend had returned to the band, although these rumors were never confirmed.
Members of the band included Glenn Morten Nordbø (guitars, vocals), Arild Christensen (guitars, vocals), Ola Aarrestad (bass), Stig Johansen (drums) , Maike Olaisen (keyboards), Anita Auglend (vocals), Ingfrid Stensland (keyboards and piano), Anders Thue (keyboards and piano), and Pete Johansen (violin).

Kiss
The Sins of Thy Beloved Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's been taken
I can feel you burn
In my life
That's been taken
I can feel you burn
She lies on the ground
'Til her soul's arised
In her hand she holds her luck and
A memory of feelings impress you
All memory are good
Since you revealed me
The looking of my heart
For the lost have I complained
Since you left me
All alone
But these memories are good
If I think about you
I can see them
And I like them
Have I lost them in my life
How I did you?
Can I die?
Hear me my love
Remember me as I was
Time will come
When we will meet again
I'm still with you
In your mind in your thoughts
We will meet again my real love
Remember all
Things we done
And all the times
We made love
Remember the night
When we talked
And you kissed me
So we made love
All night
In my life that's been taken away
I feel your heart
I feel your breath
Your touch and your kiss
In my life that's been taken away
I feel my life
I can feel your breath
Your touch and kiss
Oh, this love is so for real
Come and touch me here my dear
I cannot be without you my dear
My way to you
Forever

The song begins with the singer acknowledging the pain they feel from having their life taken away, but they can still feel the burning presence of their loved one. The woman in the song is lying on the ground, her soul gone and her luck held in her hand. The memories of feelings impress the singer, all memories are good since the loss of their love. Despite the loneliness, the memories remain a source of comfort as they remember the looking of their heart for the lost.

In my life
My existence on this earth
That's been taken
But it has been taken from me, either by death or some other loss
I can feel you burn
I can still feel the passion and intensity of our relationship
She lies on the ground
My lover is now lying on the ground
'Til her soul's arised
Until her soul has risen from her dead body
Lost in vain away
Now she's lost somewhere, very far away
In her hand she holds her luck and
In her hand, she holds the luck that had been with her all along
A memory of feelings impress you
The memories of our love and affection have left an indelible impression on her
All memory are good
All memories are precious and good to recall
Since you revealed me
Since I met you and fell in love with you
The looking of my heart
You have been the one who has been able to understand my heart and its desires
For the lost have I complained
I complained about my lost life and love
Since you left me
Since you have left me, I am all alone
All alone
Utterly solitary and in deep despair
But these memories are good
However, revisiting these memories is still heartwarming
If I think about you
If I reminisce about our grave relationship
I can see them
I can recall all the memories and relive them in my remembrance
And I like them
These happy memories give me the strength to move forward in life
Have I lost them in my life
I wonder if I have lost these beautiful moments forever
How I did you?
How could I forget you and move on in life
Can I die?
I can't bear to live without you and hence, I wonder if I should die
Hear me my love
Listen to me, my darling
Remember me as I was
Remember the person that I was, the love we shared, and the moments we cherished
Time will come
A time will come when we may meet again, maybe in another life or after finding eternal peace
When we will meet again
When our souls will be united again
I'm still with you
I am still present in your thoughts and memories
In your mind in your thoughts
You can always remember me, even if I am gone from this physical world
We will meet again my real love
We shall again rekindle our love and meet each other, as we did before
Remember all
Remember everything about us
Things we done
Every moment spent together, every conversation, every little thing
And all the times
Every second and minute spent together
We made love
The love we shared which was beyond physical attraction
Remember the night
Remember the night we spent together
When we talked
When we spoke of love, life, and everything else under the moon
And you kissed me
And you kissed me with pure love and affection
So we made love
And we made love all night, filled with passion and intensity
In my life that's been taken away
Though my life has been taken away from me, my love still remains
I feel your heart
I can still feel your love and your heartbeat
I feel your breath
I can still feel the warmth of your breath on my skin
Your touch and your kiss
I can still feel your touch and your kiss, even though you are not physically present
I feel my life
My life feels complete, though you are absent
Oh, this love is so for real
Our love was pure and beyond physical bounds
Come and touch me here my dear
Come to me and touch me, my love
I cannot be without you my dear
I can't even imagine being without you, my love
My way to you
My life's only purpose is to reach you, wherever you may be
Forever
Forever and always, our love will stay strong and alive

In my life, that's been taken
I can feel you burn
In my life, that's been taken
I can feel you burn
She lies on the ground
'Til her soul's arised
Lost in vain, away
In her hand she holds her luck and
A memory of feelings impress you
All memories are good
Since you revealed me
The looking of my heart
For the loss have I complained
Since you left me
All alone
But these memories are good
If I think about you
I can see them and I like them
Have I lost them in my life, how I did you?
Can I die?
Hear me, my love
Remember me as I was
Time will come
When we will meet again
I'm still with you
In your mind, in your thoughts
We will meet again, my real love
"Remember all the things we've done
And all the times we've made love
Remember the night when we talked and you kissed me so we made love all night"
In my life, that's been taken away
I feel your heart, I feel your breath
Your touch and your kiss
In my life, that's been taken away
I feel my love
I can feel your breath
Your touch and kiss
Oh, this love is for real
Come and touch me here, my dear
I cannot be without you, my dear
My way to you
