Crocell was formed in January 2007 by members and ex-members from Compos Mentis, Slugs, Adversary, and Demolition Inc. with the clear intention of rising to the upper echelon of the Danish metal scene and despite the short lifespan the band has already attracted a lot of attention. Thus Danishmetal.dk included Crocell on a list of the most promising Danish bands only four months after the first rehearsal session, the band is currently nominated in the "Talent of the year" category at the Danish Metal Awards
