Archive material and source history
Damascus formed in Sydney in 2009 with brothers Nick and Simon Barker and vocalist Matthew Winn. They released their debut album 'A Glimpse in the Sadistic Mirror' in 2012, which included tracks like 'A Hopeless Romance' and 'Burial in the Emerald Season.'
Their music developed a reputation for heavy riffs and dark themes, with later albums 'Penance' in 2014 and 'Ascension to Damnation' in 2016 continuing in that direction. Songs such as 'Black Sea of Downward Skies' and 'Annex Theory' reflect their consistent approach to extreme metal.
Some listeners found their lyrics and stage shows provocative, though the band maintained their musical focus. Their catalog remains anchored in that early Sydney formation and the material they produced through 2016.
