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).

The Sins of Thy Beloved Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hold my eyes at the lake of sorrow
???
See the shadow of my obsession
???
I feel this lost ??? away, away
In this life I feel lost for you
All those times
In your eyes
I see love and innocence
But I still I do not know
And I'm loving you
Still I'm trying to touch
Are you loving me
Do you want to do
Realize be now and dance
Come on follow my words then we will fly
The lyrics of "Lake of Sorrow" by The Sins of Thy Beloved paints a picture of a love that has caused pain and sorrow. The opening lines "You burned me down, to hold my eyes at the lake of sorrow" suggest a betrayal or hurt inflicted by the person they love. The lines "See the shadow of my obsession, I feel this lost ??? away" seems to indicate that the singer is struggling with obsessive thoughts and feelings towards their loved one and are lost in it.
The singer speaks about praying for the love of their partner and how they see love and innocence in their eyes. However, there is still a sense of uncertainty and confusion that lingers within the singer. They still do not know if their partner loves them back or if they want anything to do with them. The refrain "realize me now and dance, come on follow my words then we will fly" has a certain desperation to it, as if the singer is begging their partner to acknowledge their love and be with them.
Overall, "Lake of Sorrow" is a melancholic and desperate plea of love that has caused sorrow and confusion. It speaks about the pain of unrequited love and the struggles of obsessive thoughts and feelings towards someone who may not love you back.
Line by Line Meaning
You burned me down
You hurt me deeply
to hold my eyes at the lake of sorrow
to force me to confront my pain and sadness
See the shadow of my obsession
Notice the negative impact my intense feelings have on me
I feel this lost ??? away, away
I feel completely lost and hopeless
In this life I feel lost for you
My life feels empty and devoid of purpose without you
All those times
Throughout countless interactions
I've been praying for your love
I've been hoping to gain your love
In your eyes
Based on how you appear
I see love and innocence
I perceive purity and affection in you
But I still I do not know
But I'm still uncertain
and I'm loving you
I'm interested in you romantically
still I'm trying to touch
I'm still trying to connect with you emotionally
are you loving me
Are you also experiencing romantic feelings for me
do you want to do
Do you want to act on those feelings

Let's recognize our feelings and enjoy the moment

Listen to my suggestions and we will grow closer together

Traducida por quien la busca. disculpas si no esta perfectamente bien.
Digno de ti.
Un pensamiento inquietante de mi amada
Me torturas una vez más
Sueños de amor y dolor
Destruir la realidad.
¿Fue nuestra pasión corriendo por la noche?
Tal condena de mi amada?
Llorando y orando por su felicidad
Prueba sus matices con los muertos.
No tengas miedo, virgen.
Una lámpara de dios
Para ti mi amor
Un amor que nunca llegará a ser real
Enfriando en mi mente
Dejó su lugar en mis pensamientos.
Emociones de un joven hermoso
El tiempo lo robó y arruinó su existencia.
Mi amada me está pidiendo
Mi sentimiento perjudicado
Hechos de un dios sobre
¡Oh, no tengas miedo de mí, mi amor!
Mi amor
¿Quién es esa persona?
Abandonado de mi vida
El amor está aumentando.
Estoy condenado
De no ser digno de ti.
El dolor de la tortura
Durante la defensa de la cordura
Y mi lujuria a quien ignoro
Las memorias de desdén estaban desamparadas.
Niega mi gracia apagada
Mi mente sopla la magia
Se merece los demonios
Haz que la realidad se derrumbe.
Mi amor
¿Quién es esa persona?
Abandonado de mi vida
El amor está subiendo
Estoy condenado
De no ser digno de ti.
