BAND
The journey that led to Dark Athame began in August 2018, when Jan Inge Bjørkeland and Oskar Andersson started creating music inspired by an old piano demo Oskar had recorded over 20 years earlier. What began as an experiment quickly evolved into a full instrumental track, with Jan Inge contributing bass and guitars. As the project grew beyond its initial concept, we set out to find a singer and lyricist.
Using social media to spread the word, we received the most significant response from various Reddit communities. Soon, three vocal demos landed in our inbox, and Shawn Hall, one of the contributors, stood out. We were thrilled when Shawn agreed to join, officially making Dark Athame a three-piece band in July 2019.
Dark Athame is a collaborative musical project where every member contributes to shaping our band’s distinctive sound. Oskar handles keyboards, programming, and composition. Jan Inge plays bass and guitars, and also serves as composer, producer, and mixing/mastering engineer. Shawn provides vocals, vocal production, and songwriting. Together, we compose, produce, record, and mix every song, crafting the signature sound that defines Dark Athame.
