It was a depressive and drunken night when Den Saakaldte was born. Alkohol made things clear. Den Saakaldte was born back in May of 2006 under the candlelight and the light of the 5th fullmoon. The project started as an one man band by Sykelig. It's only purpose? ...Of course to be the way for expressing the paranoia, depression and alkohol influenced thoughts of the individual through the kvlt known as Black Metal. Sykelig recorded the first two songs in Hellas and after that relocated once and for good to Norway. There after experiencing weird situations and after having interesting new points of view, Den Saakaldte mixed the re-recorded songs that were included in the "Øl, Mørke og Depresjon" CD that was released by the Italian label Eerie Art Records on March of 2008 by having in the ranks Jormungand, member of Dødheimsgard that joined the band as a keyboard and effects member , S.Winter (Aeternus, Gehenna) behind the drums and as latest changes in Den Saakaldte, the additions of the insane individual Niklas Kvarforth (also in Shining) who took over the vocals part as Sykelig got tired being a front man figure on stage and wanting to concentrate on his guitar exclusively and Seidemann (also in 1349 & Pantheon I) as the bass player.

With the release of "Øl, Mørke og Depresjon" which got really good reviews and positive feedback from the press and the fans, Den Saakaldte headlined Norway's Inferno Festival, and delivered a mystical, bizzare and sick setlist. Metal Hammer from Germany, Terrorizer and UK's metal Hammer as long as plenty webzines all around Europe welcomed Den Saakaldte to the scene with really positive feedback and encouraging words.
In May of 2008 , Den Saakaldte signed a record deal with Avantgarde Music for two albums. First album is due for January of 2009. Right now the band is recording the material for that album, entitled "All Hail Pessimism" and at the same time has arranged a spilt Gatefold EP release with the swedish band Shining. That EP will be out on September of 2009 from the Spanish label Temple Of Darkness Records, limited to 900 copies and 100 picture disk copies.
