about
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. In June 2015 it was announced Départe had signed with French metal label Season of Mist. In October 2016 DÉPARTE released their debut full-length, "Failure, Subside", garnering generally favorable reviews from the underground metal community.
