Desiderii Marginis a luat naştere în anul 1993 în Mjölby, Suedia, ca proiect solo a lui Johan Levin. Iniţial, ideea era doar de a lansa pe piaţă câteva materiale (casete) care nu se încadrau în repertoriul trupei sale de bază din aceea perioadă – “The wounded meadow”. Primele trei casete “Consecrare”, “Via Peregrinus” şi “Triptych” conţineau materiale compus între 1992-1993 şi erau limitate la câteva ediţii modeste.
Unele dintre aceste piese, au aparut mai apoi pe albumul de debut “Songs over ruins”, lansat de Cold Meat Industry. Mai târziu, aceste casete au fost re-editate pe CD în 2009 – anume pe albumul “Years Lend a Golden Charm”. De la primi paşii timizi, trupa s-a dezvoltat şi astfel a ajuns să aibă la activ şase albume şi numeroase compilaţii. Cu fiece nouă “ofrandă” Johan Levin pătrunde din ce în ce mai adânc în abisurile creativităţii. Prin urmare, continuă să se aventureze mai departe în întunecimea disperării şi solitudinii, undeva în umbrele vibrante ale minţii omeneşti.

Încă de la debut, Desiderii Marginis a reuşit cu fiecare nouă apariţie discografică să-şi reinventeze sound-ul distinctiv.

Desiderii Marginis was formed in 1993 in Mjölby, Sweden by Johan Levin as a solo-project.

The intention was initialy to release just a few tapes with material that failed to fit into the repertoire of his main band at the time – “The wounded meadow”. The first three tapes

“Consecrare”, “Via Peregrinus” and “Triptych”, consisted of material composed 1992-1993 and  were limited to a modest handfull. Some of these songs later appeared in new versions

on the debut album Songs over ruins, released on Cold Meat Industry. These tapes were re-released on cd in 2009 on the ‘Years Lend a Golden Charm’ album. Since the first stumbling

steps six albums and numerous compilations have seen the light of day. With every new offering Johan Levin has dug deeper than before within the creative depths and so ventured

ever further into the darklands of dispair and solitude, deeper into the vibrant shadows of the human mind. Since the very debute in 1993, Desiderii Marginis has, with every new release, refined and reinvented the trademark sound.
