Hege S. Larsen played drums in Norway's six-piece, all-female metallers Octavia Sperati. Larsen had joined the group in 2001 after original drummer Silje Royseth had parted ways with the band.

Hege Larsen stayed until 2006 and was temporarily followed up by sticksman Kikken (real name: Cristoffer Risbakk Vegsund), until Ivar Alver joined the group.
