ORKRIST presents the single “Prince of Melancholy” from album “LUEA”


Established around 2000 and got known in the years 2002-2004 mainly thanks to many concerts the band played in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria. They play atmospheric black/doom metal with folk/medieval elements with usage of keyboards, female voice and flute. Even during this short active period the band became one of the most known bands in its own country. Supported live well-known bands like NIGHTWISH, ANCIENT, AGATHODAIMON, BEHEMOTH, ELUVEITIE (2022). Inspiration for the band came mainly from bands from the 90 ́s like Summoning, Theatre of Tragedy, Bal Sagoth, Cradle of Filth, Nightwish, Hecate Enthroned or Mystic Circle. The band disappeared in 2004 due to mainly job related and family duties of the band members.


In 2018 a comeback was announced, followed by shows in Slovakia and a 3rd album was released in 2020. In January 2023 the band released their 4th album entitled “LUEA”.
