Rote Mare began in 2005 as Phil Howlett's one man DOOM project. The main influences are Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost and Trouble along with many other more traditionally minded DOOM bands. Seven demos have been released between 2005-2009 which were written, played and recorded by Phil Howlett. They are American Terrorist (2005), Funeral Songs II (2006), The Red Sea (2006) + Bonus Disc (2007), In Ruins (January 2008), Corruption (November 2008) and Trilogy III (2009). Trilogy III was intended to be the third part of a triple album which was then abandoned when rote mare was expanded into a band.
In 2010 Rote Mare released it's debut EP (Sorrows Path) and will follow this in September 2011 with an album titled Serpents Of The Church.
