Den Saakaldte is the brainchild of guitarist Sykelig, established back in 2006, after Sykelig relocated from Hellas to Norway. The band started as a one man project but soon included in its ranks members such as Kvarforth (Shining), S. Winter (ex-Gehenna), Seidemann (1349) and Øyvind Hægeland to name a few. Through its years of existence, Den Saakaldte released “Øl, Mørke og Depresjon” (2008), “All Hail Pessimism” (2009) and “Kapittel II: Faen i Helvete” (2014), along with a number of split EPs with notable bands such as Shining, Horna, Varathron and Principality of Hell. The band’s current line up consists of guitarists Sykelig and Fineidet, bassist Skoll (Arcturus, Ved Buens Ende), drummer Tybalt (ex-Pantheon I) and vocalist Svik, and is ready to release its long-awaited new album “Pesten Som Tar Over” on Agonia Records.
