Shape of Despair is a funeral doom metal band from Finland that was formed in 1995 as Raven. They changed their name in September 1998. The band's music, which can be described as slow, atmospheric, and cold, is composed using a flute and violin, with very slow drums and grinding guitar chords. Shape of Despair's music is comparable to that of Skepticism, but their songs are more symphonic and are recorded with more precise production values. The band is signed to Spinefarm Records.
Shape of Despair's first recording under their current name was the 1998 Promo tape. This was also their first recording released to the public, as Alone in the Mist was never officially distributed. The band has since released three albums and a compilation, and also participated in the 2006 Skepticism tribute album

I just finished listening to their Angels of Distress album and it is pretty good. It's not quite a extreme as some other funeral bands which added to the fine production really fits in pretty well.
