Crest Of Darkness

Crest of Darkness is a Norwegian black metal band that’s been conjuring dark, atmospheric tunes since the mid-’90s. Founded by bassist/vocalist Ingar Amlien, the group blends raw aggression with haunting melodies, often exploring themes of Satanism, existential dread, and anti-religious rebellion—perfectly reflected in tracks like “Evil Messiah” and “Quench My Christ.” Their sound stays rooted in classic black metal traditions while adding a modern edge, keeping fans hooked across releases like *The God of Flesh* (2011) and *Evil Knows Evil* (2023).

Though lineup changes have shifted their dynamics over the years, Amlien remains the driving force, steering the band’s unapologetically sinister vibe. They’ve shared stages with iconic acts like Mayhem and Dark Funeral, solidifying their place in the underground metal scene. With albums like *My Ghost* (2020) and *Call of the Moon* (2022), Crest of Darkness continues to deliver the kind of blistering, no-frills darkness that keeps black metal purists headbanging.
