Dark Desolation

The forming of Dark Desolation began during the summer of the year 2010, founder and guitarist Shred Aj decided to join forces with vocalist Maggot after relentless searching to start a new band that would take the term "Black Metal" to a whole new level we now know as Dark Desolation. They epitomize a dark and gloomy essence , leaving the listener in a state of desolation. Dark Desolation has been flamboyant since inception and quickly established as a band to watch. Unarguably Dark Desolation has emerged to be the most vehement Black Metal outfit to have ever emerged from India. After a phenomenal audition of top notch drum chops by devious drummer Karthik, he was hired in May 2010 as the drummer and thus becoming the youngest member in the band. The band then recruited the talents of guitarist Dharni and bassist Jake to make sure they were able achieve this goal. Dark Desolation draw their inspiration from sheer interest towards the genre and the music.

A lot of success happened since 2010, and Dark Desolation became the first from India to ever get associated to the world's best underground label 'Salute Records' from Scandinavia. Immense international exposure is what Dark Desolation strongly aimed at and were constantly featured in compilations across Europe to begin with. The band then was also featured in a podcast alongside Dimmu Borgir within a few months after formation and winning several other radio appearances and compilations across USA, UK, and many more.

More press reviews poured in with reviews of 9/10 from a lot of international websites/ zines and the album reached out to a lot of countries attracting a lot of international audience from countries like Ukraine, Japan, USA, Germany, Belgium, France, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Malaysia and more. The band personally recieved an acclaim for their cover of a track from the mighty Polish Black Metal Band 'Besatt'. The band kept conquering stages and destroying everything in sight with ultra tight razor sharp live performances.
