Taking their unique name from a Candlemass song, Julie Laughs Nomore came into being in 1995, debuting with an MCD a year later before releasing two albums in 1999 and 2001. By the time of their last album, From The Mist Of The Ruins, the group had developed into a pretty effective melodic death metal band, incorporating a fair amount of variety into a familiar Gothenburg-ish base. For whatever reason they seemed to fly under the radar of most metal fans (too odd of a band name? insufficient label support?), and they faded away after the release of Ruins. More recently two of the core members resurfaced in Triton Enigma.
