NEWS: Skulld pray to “Mother Death”!

A relentless blend of old-school Swedish death metal, crust punk and hardcore, combining ferocious riffs and punishing rhythms with a dark, evocative atmosphere will be offered up by  Italian death metal collective Skulld with their upcoming album “Abyss Calls to Abyss“. Reflecting themes of mortality, existential struggle, and the shadowed corners of human experience the record will see the cold light of day on 30th January via Time To Kill Records with “Mother Death” the latest advanced listen.

The band commented: “‘Mother Death’ is a solemn, magnetic hymn that approaches death not as an ending, but as a sacred beginning — an essential part of the eternal cycle binding light and shadow, summer and winter, birth and dissolution. In this song, Death is given a voice and a face: not horror, but embrace; not punishment, but return; not silence, but whisper.
The onyx-studded altar, the full moon, the frozen forest — every image builds an atmosphere of ancient mystery, suspended between the visible world and the one beyond the veil. Mother Death does not scream, does not strike: she caresses, walks barefoot along the edge of existence, gathering souls like autumn leaves. Her voice is calm and absolute — mother and reaper, guide and ending. Everything returns, everything transforms. The vocal lines evoke an ancient feminine ritual, a forgotten pagan rite where the boundary between light and darkness dissolves. ‘I am the end and the release. I am the mother of your final peace’. ‘Mother Death’ is an ode to the threshold, to inevitable and sacred transformation, partly inspired by Demetra George’s ‘Mysteries of the Dark Moon’. Not an ending. Not a farewell. But a return to the womb”.
