Weltschmerz was formed in 1994 by Anthony Duman after his experience in 1989 as the former Monumentum's bass player.
Firstly it was started as an one-man project, with Duman experimenting in his home studio.
Soon enough he released in the same year the first Weltschmerz demo tape, named "Metaphysical Baroque".
Desire to walk further didn't stop and in 1995 the first Weltschmerz CD "Symptômes De Ruine" was released,
on Duman's own label L'Alternative Dramatique.
The album sounded much better than the demo and received positive reviews.
Also Monumentum's first singer Mark Westfall participated in the release
as a guest vocalist on the Rosemary's Baby cover "See Woman See Human".
Nevertheless Duman decided to freeze Weltschmerz.
In 1996, he was welcomed as a bassist on the band Canaan and helped composing and recording two albums with them.
In 1998 Duman together with Mauro Berchi (aka Prejudice) recorded the first version
of the song "Colore Di Pioggia E Di Ferro" for the "Dissolution Fahrenheit" compilation.
In 2000 Weltschmerz went out of hibernation with a full line up featuring on vocals and bass Anthony Duman (aka Nothing),
guitarist Mauro Berchi (aka Prejudice), drummer Andrea Freschi (aka Indifference),
keyboardist Alberto Valdonio (aka Malice) and guest singer Arianna (aka Desire).
They rehearsed for one year and a half before recording their second, and last, album
entitled "Capitale De La Douleur" that was released in 2001 on Eibon Records.
