Dark Essence Records is a sub-label of Karisma Records. We concentrate on the metal genre and have so far worked with great bands like Taake, Hades Almighty, Aeternus, Nidingr, Helheim, Dimension F3H, Ravencult, Vulture Industries, Deathcon, Malsain and Deathcult. Dark Essence Records is one of Norway’s fastest growing metal labels, with worldwide distribution. 

Formed in 2010, ALFAHANNE’s debut release came in 2013 with the appearance of the “Grym” split 7” with Sweden’s SHINING.   Playing what the band calls “Alfapocalyptic Rock”, which mixes Black Metal with Classic Rock and Punk, and topped off with some Goth influences, ALFAHANNE has created a style of music that is powerful and beautiful, yet ugly at the same time, and about which the band says:  “When you are into it you don´t feel pleasure and you don´t feel pain but you definitely FEEL”.  
Although ALFAHANNE itself might be a fairly new name to a lot of people, the band’s members, which include Pehr Skjoldhammer on Vocals and Guitar, Fredrik Sööberg on Guitars, Niklas Åström on Drums and Jimmy Wiberg on Bass,  have been around the Black Metal scene since the early ‘90’s, playing in bands like VINTERLAND and early MAZE OF TORMENT and it is a tribute to the quality of the band that they managed to attract   the services of TAAKE’s Hoest, SHINING’s Niklas Kvarforth, and HELHEIM’s V’gandr as guest artist on Their debut full-length album "Alfapokalypse" which was released on Dark Essence Records at the start of 2014.
