Founded in Reykjavik, Iceland in 2015 by guitarist Daniel Þór Hannesson as the sole member, he hired a session drummer and singer to create the Arkanum EP (2016), going on to put together a full band that was cemented in 2018 with the addition of vocalist Mario Infantes Ávalos. "Stylistically, 'Mara' is way more diverse and refined than 'Arkanum', but still retains some of the essential ideas of composition. There was another vocalist at the time and since their styles are so different, it has made a big impact on the progression of the band. Mario has great range, so he fits very well with our diverse music. There is also a big difference in sound: 'Mara' is much heavier, in your face and beefier than 'Arkanum', thanks to the amazing Dave Otero, who mixed and mastered the album." Tracking was done at two studios: drums laid down at Dutch Ice Productions with renowned engineer Chris van der Valk (Hail of Bullets) with everything else recorded at guitarist Kristján Jóhann Júlíusson's Krummafótur Studio.

The results speak for themselves, and open a thrilling new chapter for a band helping establish Iceland's place on the extreme metal map.
