OFFICIUM TRISTE is one of the oldest (and leading) Dutch doom / death metal bands. Originally formed as a death metal band under the name Reincremated. They split up and restarted as OFFICIUM TRISTE in April 1994 and released 5 full length albums and several split albums and EP s so far. Reason was originally released by the now defunct Displeased Records in 2004 and is considered to be the highlight of OFFICIUM TRISTE s output by many. The five songs on this album display dark moods and outstanding melodies. The album has been out of print for a while now and is now reissued as a digipack with additional liner notes from vocalist Pim Blankenstein (also in The 11th Hour).
