History & Biography
This European/Canadian studio side-project came together in 2018 and began a barrage of releases. Into The Blackness was a 2019 EP released by Chaos Records and Edged Circle Productions. Bassist Daryl Kahan left. Several uploads preceded the Kingdom Of Decay full-length.

Mourn The Dying Light was the name of a 2022 single, but the 7” did not contain a song named as such. Darkened had a video for the song Swallowed By The World in 2022. It was taken from the band’s The Black Winter release, which was released through Edged Circle Productions in May. It was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö. Drummer Andrew Whale departed. Naturally, Perra Karlsson replaced him. Kahan and Whale had been the founders. Edged Circle Productions released the Lord Of Sickness And Bile 7″ EP in 2023. It was the first band recording with new drummer Perra Karlsson (Nominon, In Aeternum, etc.) who had replaced Andy Whale. The band was recording its third album in the summer. The album was issued in the summer of 2024. Founding guitarist Linus Nirbrant left to focus on other projects, family and work at the beginning of 2025. Instead of replacing him, singer Gord Olson announced he would pick up the second guitar. The band reported working on a new album.
