History & Biography
The band was founded by experienced musicians in Århus in early 2007. Embarrassingly, drummer Posselt had played synthesizers in a short-lived act called Mare Crisium. An album was recorded in the same year, which was issued in 2008. The label was UK-based Casket Music. One album was released through Ultimhate Records before that label shut its doors. The Denmark-based death metal act Crocell signed a deal with the upstart Metal Hell Records in late 2012. Magnus Jørgensen had left the act. The first concert with Asbjørn Steffensen was at Club Brutal in Århus along with the German band D.A.M.N. on October 6th 2012. The band’s next album was to be released in 2013. The album would be recorded at Death Island Studios in Nykøbing Mors with producer Marco Angioni. Denmark-based death/black metal band Crocell released a video for Once Called Slaves in 2018. The song was taken from the Relics album, which was recorded during the band’s ten-year anniversary in 2017. It was released through LongLife Records on March 16th. Baptized In Bullets and Funeral Bliss were 2021 demos. Rasmus Henriksen departed in 2023. He would die of cancer in 2025. Mads Bertram Højland Gath of Heaven's Damnation, Dysgnostic, Urkraft, The Petulant, Mordax, etc. joined. He had already worked with the band as a stand-in and engineer previously.

Emil Stephansen stepped in for live bass duty for a 2024 concert. The band was opening for Maceration. Crocell's Of Frost, Of Flame, Of Flesh album was available through Emanzipation in late June 2024. Crocell was booked at Ribe Metal Festival, Odenese Metal Fest and Raise Your Horns. There was a release concert at Fairbar in Århus. The band was in the studio working on a new album for Emanzipation Productions in late 2025. Crocell had a single called Sarcophagus through Emanzipation Productions on the 6th of March 2026 in advance of a new album. Swarm Of Insects was the first album written with guitarist Mads Bertram following the departure of Rasmus “Hexen” Henriksen in 2023. The record saw Crocell record the entire album by themselves for the first time in their career.
