Sarke formed in 2009, led by vocalist Tomas Thormodsæter Haugen, who also performs as Nocturno Culto. The band came together after Haugen's time with the Norwegian black metal group Gorgoroth, though Sarke's sound leans more toward melodic death metal with a melancholic, atmospheric quality. Their debut album 'Oldarhian' arrived in 2010, followed by records like 'Bogefærd' in 2012 and 'Hellig Usvart' in 2014.
Songs like '13 Candles' and 'Frost Junkie' show their blend of heavy riffing and somber melodies. The band's lineup has included guitarist Thomas Berglie, bassist Daniel Fagervik, and drummer Steinar Gundersen. They released 'Manifest' in 2019, continuing to work within their established style rather than chasing trends.
