History

They played their first concert at Inferno Festival in 2008, headlining the John Dee stage on the second day.[5] The reactions were positive.[6][7][8]

Their debut album, Øl, Mørke og Depresjon, which was released in March 2008 through Eerie Art records, has been described as "a quite unique sounding album,"[9] as well as "there's space for aggression and brutality, but also for dark atmospheres and ancient feelings."[3]

The band released their second album, entitled All Hail Pessimism, on February 2, 2009.[10]

On 27 March 2011, Niklas Kvarforth, vocalist and frontman of Den Saakaldte, announced that he would be quitting the band to focus on Shining.[11]

gollark: *Apparently* it doesn't count if we do it by editing laws of physics on demand.
gollark: Why would we be? GTech™ has been arbitrarily (de)stabilizing arbitrary things for several centuries.
gollark: Oxygen, xenon, anomalously gaseous cobalt, airborne computronium and utility fog, stable oganesson, rhenium, sort of thing.
gollark: Well, GTech™ GAir™ is obviously pretty great.
