Dödsrit is a blackened crust band that is the brainchild of Swedish musician Christoffer Öster, also known for his involvement with Totem Skin. Dödsrit blends elements from black metal and crust punk to create a sound that is as ferocious as it is melancholic. The project emerged from the ashes of Öster's previous band in 2017, making a mark with its self-titled debut, "Dödsrit," which was released to critical acclaim within the underground metal scene.

As Dödsrit's primary force, Öster crafts soundscapes that are both atmospheric and aggressive, utilizing a mix of harrowing riffs, expansive melodies, and an inherent sense of desolation that seems to echo from the deepest forests and most desolate expanses of Scandinavia. Following the debut, Dödsrit unleashed a series of compelling releases that elevated the project's status in the extreme music community. With albums such as "Spirit Crusher" (2018) and "Mortal Coil" (2020), Dödsrit has solidified its place as a unique entity in the world of metal, offering an emotionally intense experience that resonates with fans of both the black metal and crust punk genres.
