NEWS: Grimming announce “Hunters Death”!

Austrian Death Metal newcomers Grimming have inked a deal in blood with Napalm Records for the release of their debut album “Jagatod” (or “hunter’s death“) on 26th March 2027. That news comes with an obligatory first single in “Pankh“, the band having already supported Ukrainians 1914 on their international tour as well as taking on Ragnarök Festival after only releasing two singles…

The band comment: “‘Pankh’ was one of the first songs we wrote for GRIMMING and therefore also for Jagatod. The song is dynamic and represents the album incredibly well as a first single.

The story of the Styrian witch trials is cruel and yet gripping, especially when it comes to ‘typically Styrian’ torture methods. One of these was supposedly the ‘Pankh’, a type of torture chair. It was the third and final degree of torture in Styria and was used until the 1720s.”

“Jagatod is our first try at composing a coherent record. Initially, we wanted to venture more into traditional Florida death metal. Ultimately, that is barely audible on the album. We put in a lot of melodies and bet on groove and midtempo, additionally borrowing some elements from black metal.

The lyrics are in our first language, Styrian dialect. Unlike we did it with our very first single ‘Lindwurm’, we fully focused on Styrian and Alpine history with our lyrics. The goal was to shed some light on life and pain of the old mountain people.

We managed to write a well-rounded album that we are proud to present to the world!”
