David Fischer I usually don't check my phone during work, but I'm glad that I randomly did this one time! KRATER arguably play the most vicious but still atmospherically compelling black metal in all ov Germany. Their last outing managed to sound seriously menacing whilst also being well-produced - a hard task to accomplish in this genre. I will not listen to any singles before the album releases, but the description is promising. Specific thoughts will follow on May 31st. Until then: listen to Venenare!

about

Since its inception in 2003, Krater has been a relentless force in the metal underground, forging a path with a raw and modern take on black metal. Paying homage to the genre's wild origins while pushing boundaries with aggressive riffing, haunting melodies, and introspective lyrics, Krater has secured their status as a prominent figure in the European black metal landscape. Their evolution, showcased in albums like "Nocebo" (2011), "Urere" (2016), and "Venenare" (2019), has captivated audiences worldwide.

"Phrenesis" is a concept album delving fearlessly into the descent into madness and frenzy, as its title suggests. Lyrically and musically, the album explores the darkest corners of the human psyche, unraveling the mind and the chaos that ensues. With a thematic exploration of existential themes and a sonic blend of aggression and melancholic melodies, "Phrenesis" is a haunting representation of the chaotic journey toward insanity. Prepare for a deep listening experience that captures the harrowing descent into madness with fearful precision.

The latest album 'VENENARE' sees the band to once again display their vicious power and rigorous melody wrapped in their own dark mold. ... more
