Départe

Extreme Metal - Australia

Départe Band

DÉPARTE were formed in Hobart, Tasmania as a black metal quartet at first under the name ØRANNIS in 2011. The Australians intended to create dark, brooding atmospheric black metal with a focus on an intense, hypnotic live performance. Yet with the addition of a second guitarist, their sound developed further.

DÉPARTE started to drift from the more traditional black metal ethos, shed their face paint and incorporated elements from various other genres, such as post metal, drone, doom and death metal. The combination of these ingredients resulted in something unique, emotive and truly powerful.

DÉPARTE released their first official demo ‘MMXIV’, which contained two tracks in November 2014. It speaks volume that the band was already invited to share stages with local heroes such as NE OBLIVISCARIS, PORTAL, and THE AMENTA as well as international heavy-weights from the calibre of GORGUTS, ULCERATE, WORMED, ABSU, and many more.

DÉPARTE proceeded to record their debut full-length, which has now been slated now for release on October 14.

Line-up:

  • Sam Dishington : Guitars & vocals
  • Michael Rankine : Drums
  • Mitchell Golding : Guitar
  • Jarrod Sorbian : Bass

This band is no longer active on Season of Mist.
