threnody
"song of lamentation," 1634, from Gk. threnodia, from threnos "dirge, lament," + oide "ode." Gk. threnos probably is from a PIE imitative base meaning "to murmur, hum;" cf. O.E. dran "drone," Goth. drunjus "sound," Gk. tenthrene "a kind of wasp."
thren·o·dy
[thren-uh-dee]–noun, plural -dies.
a poem, speech, or song of lamentation, esp. for the dead; dirge; funeral song.

Origin:
1615–25; < Gk thrēnōidía, equiv. to thrên ( os ) dirge + -ōid ( ḗ ) song ( see ode) + -ia -y3

Threnos is definitely a good band. They inspired a new generation of BM. Perhaps I dig some of the projects derived from this one more, the credit due to this band is unmistakeable.
Recommend for any Cascadian BM fan, but esp those interested in the early stages of the genre.

threnos started after wittr. three of these songs were carried over from a band called laid to waste. threnos very well could have coined the phrase cascadian black metal though. prior to threnos, parker was singer and guitarist in sicarri and johnny was drumming for aurora goreialis, with nathan from wittr and bridget irish.
