Krallice (album)
''Krallice'' is the first album by the New York–based black metal band Krallice. It was released on compact disc in 2008 by the Canada-based Profound Lore Records, and on vinyl in 2009 by the American-based Gilead Media. The album was recorded before Nick McMaster had joined the band so he only appears as an additional vocalist on the recording and the bass guitar was played by both Marston and Barr. Recording Colin Marston recorded, mixed and mastered the album in his studio Menegroth, the Thousand Caves in Woodhaven, Queens. Though the band initially intended to use a lo-fi approach, the music was too dense to come out successfully. The album was recorded on 2" tape with multiple microphones and guitar layers. Marston describes it as "pure and ambient" as a contrast to the buzzy trebley guitar and fake reverb found on some older black metal. The guitars were doubled with different tones and recorded in the same room as the amps so that feedback proliferates the recording. The b ...

Ygg Huur
''Ygg huur'' is the fifth studio album by the American black metal band Krallice. The album was recorded between July 4 and 8 at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves Studio and was self-released digitally by the band on July 30, 2015, with physical versions released in September. The album received widespread critical acclaim for its dense, complex songwriting and unique sound, featuring on a number of end-of-year lists by music publications. Musical style and writing Ygg huur has a highly technical, dense and complex style of metal, that has been described as "ranchingout kaleidoscopically, intricate riffs alternate frantically, from insanely fast tremolos to dissonant squeals, and rhythms float and bounce spastically without any anchors". Though it is rooted in black metal, some music critics have noted the influence of death metal on the album, and comparisons have been made to Gorguts, Deathspell Omega, and Altar of Plagues. In an interview, Mick Barr said, "Our method for writing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Years Past Matter
''Years Past Matter'' is the fourth studio album by the American black metal band Krallice. It was self-released by the band as a limited edition CD on August 25, 2012. A vinyl version of the album was subsequently released by Gilead Media on March 19, 2013. Musical style ''Years Past Matter'' adopts the "progressive black metal" style of their previous albums. The vocalists, Mick Barr and Nicolas McMaster, "approach their screams with equal gusto but very different tones." The basslines of McMaster were also described as "essential to the overall effect as the guitars." According to Pitchfork A pitchfork (also a hay fork) is an agricultural tool with a long handle and two to five tines used to lift and pitch or throw loose material, such as hay, straw, manure, or leaves. The term is also applied colloquially, but inaccurately, to th ...'s writer Grayson Currin, the album's second track, "IIIIIIII", has "a rhythmic momentum written into the guitar lines when the fuselage of dr ...

Hyperion (EP)
''Hyperion'' is the second EP by the American black metal band Krallice. It was released on January 1, 2016. The music had originally been recorded in July 2013 for a split release that never materialised. Musical style and writing The music critic Greg Majewski noted the importance of the EP's recording date of July 2013. "The three songs which comprise its 23 minutes act as a virtual bridge between the thematic repetition of 2012’s ''Years Past Matter'' and ''Ygg Huur''’s brisker, compact approach. Present-day Krallice – while still retaining the same lineup – is a different beast than its pre-hiatus incarnation; shorter, to-the-point, but no less volatile. As such, ''Hyperion'' stands as a document of a band mid-transition, testing the extent of the newfound abilities gained from its members’ extracurricular activities in Gorguts (Marston), the resuscitated Behold the Arctopus (Marston again), death metal bass-drum duo Geryon (McMaster and Weinstein) and the evolvin ...

Diotima (album)
''Diotima'' is the third album by the New York-based experimental black metal band Krallice. It was released in 2011 by Profound Lore Records. Critical reception ''PopMatters'' called the album "yet another extraordinary piece of work that raises the proverbial bar once again ... this isn't just experimental; it's genuinely ''catchy''." ''The Village Voice'' wrote: "''Diotima'' is the kind of album that requires multiple listens, possibly alternating between headphones and speakers, to absorb. Assaultive at first, it gradually blooms: The guitar lines separate, and the intricate ebb and flow of the rhythm section... becomes more and more clear." The editors of AllMusic awarded the album a full 5 stars, and Phil Freeman called it "the group's best work to date." He wrote: "Krallice... aren't all that interested in preserving black metal in the amber of tradition. They're taking what they like from the genre and amplifying its power by adding elements from prog rock and minimalism, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
