Wanhoop, which is Dutch for 'Despair', is a Belgian black/doom metal band formed in 2003 by Bert De Visscher (music, NephereX, My Lament) & Joeri Cooreman aka Zwarte Dood (vocals, concept). In 2004 this two-men project released a demo 'Elegy of Despair' as a split-CD with Kludde (Belgian black metal band) on NephereX. Initially it was not the intention to play live but as a matter of fact the band got some inquiries to perform some shows. Wanhoop had some line-up changes over the years and did some shows with bands as Shining, Forgotten Tomb, Satanic Warmaster, Mortiis, My Dying Bride, The Prohecy and Insanity Reigns Supreme. At the end of 2007, co-founder/vocalist Joeri decided to leave the band. Bert persisted together with Tom on guitars (who allready joined Wanhoop since the first live gig) and Joachim (Theudho) on drums (who joined the band in 2005). Their first release will finally be unleashed in 2008.
