Desolate Ways was formed in March of 1998 in the Torres city, south of Brazil. Elizeu Hainzenreder, a fanatic for Black Sabbath wanted to set up a band to follow the steps of your idols. With the time Rodrigo Fernandes, that assumed the bass and became then partner in the foundation of the band. To proceed they called Igo Menegaz for the drums and Max Lima for the rhythm guitars and vocal. With the entrance of Max, was formed the partnership that would determine Desolate Ways's style. Two following years passed composing and rehearsing.
Besides the heavy metal, Elizeu wanted to add elements to differentiate Desolate Ways of what it was being done in the world scenery of the time. Fan of Gothic bands like Sisters of Mercy, Elizeu ended up finding in them, the different touch that lacked. Starting from then, the partnership formed with Max, it perfected the compositions of the band. Slow courses and dark climates, allies to the energy of the heavy metal, and lyric that treated of the sadness and difficulties of the life became definitive characteristics in the work of the band.
