about

The Wandering Midget play traditional Doom Metal...and whatever else they want to!
The band's most notable musical influences can be traced back to traditional Doom and Heavy Metal. The music also carries traces of 70's Progressive and Psychedelic Rock, while the lyrics deal mostly with horror, fantasy and mythology. Main inspiration comes from the world surrounding them, cult horror cinema and writers such as H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Robert E. Howard.

It happened in the last days of 2005 that The Wandering Midget was torn out of Mother Jackal's womb to roam the obscure paths of Doom Metal, following the trails left by the old masters of this art. The appropriate ceremonies were held by Samuel Wormius and Jonathan Sprenger, devoted men of science who had taken their time to learn the preservation of vital powders of flora & fauna and knew well their usage in incarnative purposes. After rumours started to spread, another promising young scientist, namely Thomas Grenier, became highly convinced about the studies of these two, and therefore offered them his help regarding the planetary low-frequency pulses and their negative effects on living human tissue. This area of investigation had been the weakest link in the studies of Samuel and Jonathan, and they were more than happy to accept Thomas' help.

In Summer 2006 the group published their first self-financed study, which carried the name "First Encounter". This demonstrative work of art sold out in Autumn 2007, yet was republished later the same year with two new appendices, ominous "I Am The Gate" and massive "Wasteland Shrine". This package was released by Eyes Like Snow, and became known as "I Am The Gate"-EP. Some field work was done by the trio, yet they didn't receive much attention on Finnish stages...yet. "I Am The Gate", however, gained great reviews around the globe and The Wandering Midget disappeared into the silence of the Finnish countryside where they began preparations for their first full-length album.
