Swiss post-doom trio Kalkas premiered new official music video ‘Au milieu du feu, il est leur guide’.

Naturalistic Post-doom – including stoner and psych-rock elements – trio from Lausane and emerging from the amazing Swiss scene in 2019, Kalkas is about to release its debut full-length album called ‘Envoûtante sève’ and planned on LP & Digital on April 8th through Table Basse Records.

 In the meantime, the band just premiered a first glance from this forthcoming album with the official music video of “Au milieu du feu, il est leur guide” available right now on YouTube.

Beyond its musical dimension, Kalkas develops a conceptual universe around issues related to climate change and the anger this causes among the various members of the band.

In a romantic and dualistic approach, with some points of naturalistic contemplation, this album offers a first dive into the subdued atmosphere of a dark autumnal and forest mist. To a sound saturated with existential angst, the instruments respond to the call of Kalkas, a deep entity with a vague design for our humanities.

Punctuated with narrative and poetic vocal passages, the album ‘Envoûtante Sève’ offers a first vision of this new world, under construction.

Band statement

This new album “Test of time” captures our idea of melodic groove heavy metal music. The 10 songs portraits the evolution of the band which is displayed throughout the entire record. This is what we can truly define in our 5th album which has very strong melodic vocals, power groove riffs and catchy choruses. Our songs are like most well-known stories they evolve over time. We know sound is the universal language & our music sets the mood for the story. 

(literatura) Paul Hammy Halmshaw – Anything for a PEACVILLE life

Zahvaljujući dobrim ljudima iz Cult Never Dies izdavačke kuće koji rade odličan posao izdavanja fenomenalnih i zanimljivih knjiga, dokopao sam se mojeg primjerka ove knjige, potpisane od strane samog Hammya. Riječ je o svojevrsnoj autobiografiji Paula Hammy Halmshawa, čovjeka koji je utemeljio i dugi niz godina vodio jednu od najvećih i najpoznatijih britanskih i svjetskih underground music labela, Peaceville.

Knjiga je bogato uređena, s predgovorima, slikama, plakatima, te oslikava jedno vrijeme od osamdesetih i tape tradinga, te početka anarho punk i crust punk scene, čiji sudionik je i sam Hammy, svirajući bubnjeve i pjevajući u bendovima. Volio bih da je malo podrobnije u knjizi opisan taj prelazak dosta sudionika scene s punka u metal vode. Hammyevo odrastanje i ulazak u punk preko benda Crass i njihovih ideala je jako zanimljiva priča i s guštom sam pročitao prvi dio knjige do osnivanja prvo tape labela, pa širenja Peacevillea koji je pomalo konfuzna priča i podosta se nekad pogubio u likovima, nekim business događajima koji nisu meni kao čitatelju baš interesantni, više sam volio dio knjige gdje se opisuje odnosa s bendovima, kao svađa s Doom, Darkthrone kontroverta oko Norsk Arisk Black Metal spike, odnos s My Dying Bride, Katatonia, At The Gates, Anathema, te svim ostalim odličnim bendovima čije je legendarne albume Peaceville izdao. Knjiga je interesantna, brzo se čita, da se tako izrazim, pitka je, no jednostavno se ne mogu oteti dojma da njoj nešto fali i da je mogla biti puno, puno bolja.
