Bandet Orkan, som inkluderer folk fra Byfrost og Gravemachine, er under vingene til Dark Essence Records.

Bergensselskapet begynner virkelig å få en stall, Orkan stiller opp med sitt andre album som bidrag, ‘Livlaus’ kommer senere i år. Det melder Patricia Thomas Management.

«Orkans four-man lineup, all of whom also play in Enchanting Darkness, was formed in 2008 by Taakes’s live guitarist Gjermund Fredheim and ex-Byfrost drummer Rune Ness. Having been joined by former Grimnorth bassist Sindre Hillesdal and frontman Einar Fjelldal (ex-Gravemachine), Orkan released their debut full-length album Crimson Canvas in 2012.

Whilst Crimson Fields is, as described by the band, a self-financed, thrashy album, Orkan have left this sound behind them and taken their musical vision in a much darker direction, taking the classic Norwegian Black Metal sound and incorporating into it influences from many other genres, to create atmospheric melodies with haunting vocals and intense blastbeats.»
