Black Harvest was formed in the late 2002 by Eric (drums), Kishor (guitar/bass/vox), and Roger (guitar), who immediately began playing shows and writing songs for their first album. In late 2003, SHRINE OF HOURS was completed, and the material was unleashed the following year to great reviews and live responses. Meanwhile, they never stopped writing new material and developing their sound.

A deal with Oak Knoll Productions in early 2005 allowed for greater distribution and exposure for their 2nd full-length album WHITE LIGHT CAME DOWN. Their Oak Knoll debut features new recordings of material from two previously self-released demos (Mute and Lamentation) as well as three new tracks exclusive to this release.

Both albums span a wide array of sonic ideas, tied together by definitive Black Harvest songwriting. Obvious influences include Ulver, Amorphis, My Dying Bride, Satyricon, Opeth, and Katatonia. The band also draws understated inspiration from post-punk acts such as Swans and Joy Division, goth/darkwave groups like Sisters of Mercy and Deine Lakaien, and various examples of medieval and Baroque music. Black Harvest continue to refine their live performance to support their latest release and explore new musical ground for future releases.
