Doom influenced death metal band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Formed in late 1988 by Sharon Bascovsky (vocals & guitars) and Terri Heggen (drums). Mary Bielich assisted on bass in 1991 but nothing permanent to complete a full lineup. In 1991, Terri and Mary left to pursue other musical interests while Sharon continued Derkéta recordings with the help of friends, primarily Jim Konya from NunSlaughter. In 2006 it was decided to reform Derkéta with the original lineup, this time with Robin Mazen on bass and Mary Bielich assisting on guitar.
