NEWS: Krigsgrav drink from the poison chalice?

A month after they set sail on the seas of perdition, Texan Black Metal trio Krigsgrav have returned with “An Everflowing Vessel“. Both cuts take pride of place on “Fires In The Fall” which will see the cold light of day on 23rd June via Wise Blood Records. Named after a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, it’s a record that is said to illuminate beauty within the world’s darkest shadows while incinerating genre boundaries between downcast Doom and razor-riffed Black Metal…

Vocalist and guitarist J. Coleman 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.”

The band add: “This song deals with the idea that as a species we feel the need to exploit and destroy our natural environment while giving no regard to what that will do for the future. It’s the idea of continued insanity of destruction and thinking it will get better on its own. It won’t”
