Oriska

Oriska is a blackened post-metal collective headquartered in Fargo, ND with members dispersed across California, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. Featuring ex-members of Battlefields (Init Records, Translation Loss), Dispensing of False Halos, Sleeping in Gethsemane (Init Records), In Rapture, and Ceiling Walker, the band was formed in the summer of 2023 with the purpose of reconnecting friends with a passion for music, without regard for genre nor geographical boundaries. Crushing yet delicate, despairing yet hopeful, their sound invokes a sense of strength in the face of impossible circumstances, with influences and reference points that include Envy, Buried Inside, Funeral Diner and Amenra.
