Oriska is a blackened post-metal collective headquartered in Fargo, ND with members dispersed across California, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. The band is noted for cathartic performances filled with World-Ending emotion and cinematic soundscapes, drawing influence from their past outfits while crafting a unique blend of doom, post-metal and screamo into songs that are both sprawling and epic.
"The power of the music swells again, heaving the earth and spearing the heavens, creating a massive and wrenching finale, bringing together many of the song’s most stirring and shattering ingredients, including the soul-stripping vocals." -No Clean Singing
