Music like Until Death Overtakes Me

Stijn Van Cauter (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstɛi̯n vɑŋ ˈkʌu̯tər]) is a doom metal and ambient music producer from Belgium. He has several solo projects, including Beyond Black Void, I Dream No More, and Fall of the Grey-Winged One. His most notable solo project is Until Death Overtakes Me.

Van Cauter had been experimenting with music production since 1997. In May 1999, he founded the doom metal project Macabre Destiny. He decided to change the name of the project to Until Death Overtakes Me in February 2000. Three new members, "EDS", Jo Renette, and "PT", joined the project that same year, transforming it into a band.

In 2001, Van Cauter began recording the demo Deep Dark Red by himself. He decided to abandon the use of drums and started using timpani instead. The demo was not released because it had involved earlier material drafted by Van Cauter alone, and he thought it would not represent the band properly. While recording the second demo, Absence of Life, "EDS" and "PT" left the band. Renette also left the band after the recording was complete.
