The Dark Krusaders is a pioneering Rock band from Churachandpur (Manipur), active during the region's vibrant rock and metal music scene in the 1980s. The band fame spread far and wide, they rocked not only Manipur but also the whole North East region, before they broke up and faded away from the Rock Scene. Jessy Ralte after a few years of hiatus, emerged from the ashes of ‘The Dark Krusaders', and teaming up with Ex. Sound-Factory guitarist F. Loncy Suaka and former Krusader drummer Thangkima T.K. formed a 3 piece Metal band named ‘The Drixian Empire’. In this new venture, Jessy Ralte doubles up as the bassist and the vocalist. The band soon made their presence felt with their ‘no hold approach’ to their music. They wrote, composed and recorded their own music. The Rock Street Journal, referred to Jessy Ralte as India’s answer to Ozzy Osbourne. The band shifted their base to Delhi and rocked around for a few years. After the departure of their drummer T.K they renamed themselves as 'The Dirge Harkers' with various new drummers which eventually didn't go well and after some time they finally decided to hang up their rocking boots for good.
