The Swedish Black/Thrash Metal four-piece Sarcator was formed in 2018 by vocalist and guitarist Mateo Tervonen, bassist Felix Lindkvist & drummer Jesper Rosén. Emil Eriksson joined the band on second guitar the following year.
In 2019 when they were in the age span of 14-20 years old, they released their first demo cassette Visions of Purgatory via the american label Redefining Darkness Records.
The year after that, their death-thrashing Self-titled debut album was released by the same label and it got nominated for the best Rock/Metal in a swedish music award known as P3 Guld.
Second full-length album Alkahest had a more experimental approach to it, where they included influences from dark rock music, postpunk and other genres of music to their sound.
It was released in November 4th, 2022 via the swedish label Black Lion Records.
Now after the pandemic, the band have started to play live shows. Playing festivals and clubs, supporting both albums that together creates a very intense, dark and aggressive atmosphere.
In the winter of 2023, the band entered the studio to record their third full-length album, which was the last thing that former guitarist Emil Eriksson contributed on. The band's new guitarist Leo Buchalle was announced in the end of May 2024.
