Skáphe is an enigmatic presence in the underground metal scene, revered for their dissonant, chaotic, and hypnotic brand of black metal. The project finds its origins in the United States with its formation year being quite elusive, but generally marked around the mid-2010s. Skáphe began as the brainchild of A.P., known for his work in other extreme metal acts, and quickly carved out a space for itself with its sprawling, ominous soundscapes that blend the boundaries of black metal with avant-garde and experimental influences.

Their discography is a spiral into the depths of audial darkness, where each release is a further descent into the abstract and the unknown. Skáphe's recent works include "Skáphe³" (2020), showcasing a relentless and immersive sonic journey, and its predecessor "Skáphe²" (2016), which built upon the dense and foreboding atmospheres first explored on their earlier releases such as "Skáphe" and "Skáphe²." "Kosmískur hryllingur" (2019) is a collaborative effort with Icelandic band Wormlust that plumbs the avant-garde fringes of black metal, crafting a disquieting narrative through sound. Meanwhile, the offering "VII" (2017) stands as a testament to their heavy, relentless, and often improvisational style which has attracted a devoted following within the spheres of extreme metal connoisseurs. Skáphe's music is not just heard; it is an experience that encompasses the listener in a shroud of cosmic horror and unsettling beauty, reflecting the darkness that dwells within the furthest reaches of the human psyche.
