Urn is a Chicago based Gothic, Black metal band. Founded by Dominic St. Charles, Urn was originaly formed in 1994 as a Death Metal band. Due to a serious accident with one of the members in 1996, the band broke up. In 2000 Dominic reformed the group with a new line-up and a new style. In the fall of 2005, Urn signed with Rotting Corpse Records and released their full-length album, Dancing With The Demigods. Currently this album is being distributed through the major label, Century Media.
