NEWS: Krigsgrav swim in the seas of perdition?

…with pre-orders available over at bandcamp the second sacrificial offering “Fires In The Fall” from Texan Black Metal trio Krigsgrav will arrive via Wise Blood Records on 23rd June. The follow up to 2021’s Melodic Death Doom soaked “The Sundering“, it features a guest vocal appearance from the bands former vocalist Chris “Blutjäger” Sweigart having been Mixed and Mastered at Wolfthrone Studios by Owe Inborr (Azaghal, Ondfødt, Kvaen).

J. Coleman (Vocals, Rhythm and Lead Guitars, Synth) comments: “We wrote Fires in the Fall almost immediately after we completed writing The Sundering, so it almost feels like a double album, but they are very different. We intentionally approached writing Fires in the Fall with the idea that it would be more atmospheric, and we would let the music breathe a bit more. That’s why the songs have more of a tempo change than those on The Sundering. With Fires, we wanted everything to be grandiose and bigger, but really emphasize giving each song a haunting feel”

“In my interpretation, the poem represents the magic in the changing of seasons from Summer to Fall. There is an intangible mystique in the air. It feels like there is something different coming, almost menacing. Taking that basic idea then considered how there are celebrations of Pagan traditions (Samhain/Yule) that were reinterpreted into modern Christian holidays. It seems like we as humans have always found mysticism in those autumn/winter times.nAs we are all heavily inspired during those times of year as well, we wanted to create an album with songs that gave off that similar feeling”
