Craft

Craft is a Swedish black metal band, formed as "Nocta" in 1994. Nocta recorded an unreleased demo in 1997 and changed their name to "Craft". They are inspired by early black metal acts such as Burzum and Darkthrone, and heavy metal bands such as Black Sabbath and Celtic Frost. Their lyrics focus on misanthropy, destruction, hate, Anti-Cosmic Satanism, and death, resembling early lyrics by melodic black/death metal band Dissection. After drummer Daniel Halén quit the band in 2005, the remaining members considered putting the band on hold, but continued, addressing his replacement later. In 2008, Dirge Rep (Gehenna, ex-Gorgoroth, ex-Enslaved) joined the band to play session drums for an album released in August 2011. They released their fifth album, White Noise and Black Metal, on 22 June 2018.
