Orcustus first came into being as a band in the beginning of 2002, but the material presented on the first demo had been written by Taipan between 1998 and 2000 in his former band Abattoir (Nor), which also comprised of Slegga from Suffering Seas.
The band name is taken from the underground 'zine Orcustus which Bård 'Faust' Eithun of Emperor and Thorns fame published in the early 90's.
Taipan contributed guest vocals to two tracks on Taake's Hordalands Doedskvad album; lyrics and guest vocals to Nattefrost's Terrorist album; and lyrics to one track on Thunderbolt (Pol)'s Apocalyptic Doom album.
Dirge Rep contributed session drums for Desspo Hallelujah on their first demo; lyrics for The Deviant's Ravenous Deathworship album; spoken voice intro for Deathcult (Nor)'s Cult of the Dragon album.
Demo 2002 is now available for free download on Misantrof.

Ce se poate spune? Un black intens, mai mult decat corect, instrumental mai ales, destul de ingrijit ca sound, cu un Taipan care nu ma convinge la voce (ca prim minus) si cu destul de multe influente (explicabile, daca ne uitam la apartenentele la trupe ale membrilor), insa imbinate destul de maiastru incat sa imi incante dpdv black-eristic urechile pentru acest inceput de an, in care nu prea am multe repere.
Si am feeling-ul ca odata cu ascultari ulterioare, mi se va imbunatati parerea progresiv.
Si nici n-am neaparat vreun hilight pe acest album, toate parandu-mi-se foarte misto, in felul lor.
N-am nici un link spre vreun myspace, official, ceva. Singurul lucru, demo 2002:
