Orcrist

As the funeral pyre of the Italian Death Metal band Eld burned low, from its smouldering ashes a new force emerged onto the Black Metal scene ORCRIST. Founded on the 5th April 2000 by Grav (drums/lyrics) and Bhaal (vocals/guitar/lyrics), the band recorded their first, un-named, rehearsal tape in December 2000, to be followed by a second - Over Mans Doom- in 2001. In early 2002 the band were joined by Lucyfer on bass and Ghosta (Fullmoon Promises, Morgen and Ephedra) on backing vocals, to record their first official demo The Third Imperyum.
