German Black Metal Band GRAU Announces New Album “Abseits Des Lichts”; Listen To The Single “Erinnerung”!

Saarbrücken-based black metal band GRAU is ready to come back with a new full-length, following its debut effort “Transzendenz” released in 2016. The album, called “Abseits Des Lichts”, will be released on December 1st via Tragedy Productions. The album will be available as digipak with an 8-pages booklet, plus streaming and download on the main digital platforms.

The 9 tracks of “Abseits Des Lichts” will leave you breathless, with an imposing wall of guitars and drumming pushed to the extremes! You may have a foretaste of the album by listening the opener “Erinnerung” – available on the label’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/46Ngm5p

Pre-order “Abseits Des Lichts” on Bandcamp: https://tragedyproductions.bandcamp.com/album/abseits-des-lichts

The album title “Abseits des Lichts” can be roughly translated as “outside of the light“. It describes the lyrical approach of the songs that deal with pain, emptiness and the animalistic aspect of the human mind. Musically, GRAU has taken a more modern and complex approach since its debut release and covers the complete range from sinister doom parts to mid-tempo grooves and shredding blast beats.

Abseits des Lichts” was recorded, mixed and mastered by Felix Rößger at Gin’Fused Sounds over the course of several months in 2022 and 2023. All songs written and performed by GRAU. All lyrics by K.D. and M.K. The song “Fiebertraum” was composed by Christoph Rieff. Album cover designed by Alfi Feijoa. Original photo taken by House of Fortitude.

K.D. – Vocals

Finnish Progeny of Sun released their second single ‘False Radiance‘ from the upcoming debut album ‘Throne of Desolation’.  The album is set to be released on December 8th via Inverse Records. 

WATCH False Radiance lyric video: https://youtu.be/jChe-Br_h80 

The composer Hauta comments: “in rehearsals, our drummer always wants the guitars to be louder in the in-ear monitoring. That’s how I got the idea for a song where the drummer would have to play completely on his own and if he concentrates on the guitars, game over. The song didn’t raise great enthusiasm for the singer at first, but as soon as he got his own voice in, he started to like it. Bass was executed normally.”

Depressive black metal project MY DEAREST WOUND reveals details about debut album ‘The Burial’; Watch the video for ‘When Did I Die?’ below!

Chile’s depressive black metal project MY DEAREST WOUND has announced that its debut full-length, entitled ‘The Burial’, will be released on September 15th via the label Tragedy Productions.

Along its 46 minutes of length, the listener will be struck by the melancholy beauty of the melodies. Often the songs are based on the mid-tempo, ideal for underlining the inner emotional excavation, but in some cases, they switch to blast beats, to highlight the drama of a human being who sees no reason to continue living.

Listeners can pre-order the album on Bandcamp: https://mydearestwound.bandcamp.com/album/the-burial

MY DEAREST WOUND is a solo project from Santiago, Chile created by Sergio González Catalán (Rise to the Sky, Winds of Tragedy). Its music is about sadness, loneliness, and depression.

Sergio says about My Dearest Wound: ‘I wanted to do a straightforward project that talked about traumatic and life-ruining events, and to express beauty and melancholy without leaving the inner rage that these topics convey. In ‘The Burial’, the debut album of My Dearest Wound, you will hear beautiful melodies, extracts from movies and series that transmit the feeling of shock and tragedy, and the inner aching sounds of suffering from those old wounds.

Music and lyrics by Sergio González Catalán. Production, mixing & mastering: Nikola Dušmanić, Ezoterik Studio. Vocals and instruments by Sergio Gonzalez Catalán – Recorded in Sergio’s Castle – Santiago, Chile. Drums by Nikola Dušmanić – Recorded in Ezoterik Studio, Serbia. Guitar tones & reamping: Rodoljub Raičković, Vortex Studio. Artwork by Natalia Drepina. CD Layout by Paula González. Logo by Alak – Chaos Drakon Art.
