KRALLICE Complete Work On New Album; MP3 Available
September 8, 2009, 15 years ago
Brooklyn NY's KRALLICE have completed work on their new album, Dimensional Bleedthrough.
Featuring guitar wizard Mick Barr (OCRILIM, ORTHRELM, etc.) and New York's new renaissance/man-of-all-trades within the underground metal scene Colin Marston (DYSRHYTHMIA, GORGUTS, BEHOLD THE ARCTOPUS etc.) and now rounded as a full lineup with drummer Lev Weinstein (BLOODY PANDA) and bass player Nick McMaster (ASTOMATOUS), Krallice have created an album that goes much beyond their eponymous debut and have taken their hypnotizing progressive blackgaze into more transcendental and epic territory.
Like the debut times ten, Dimensional Bleedthrough is a more intense and much more involved album with its myriad of insane counterpoint and guitar acrobatics throughout its 77-minute discourse. Whereas in the beginning, Krallice was seen as the black metal band of Mick Barr and Colin Marston (for the record, they don't really consider Krallice black metal), Dimensional Bleedthrough sees a more complete band feeling courtesy of the rhythm section provided by Weinstein and McMaster (who also does vocals on the new album) and has helped intensify the Krallice sound, one in which they have now defined as their own by converging the styles and influences from all said band members respective repertoires.
Still the black/death metal influence is inherent in Krallice's massive sound canvas, along with influences that range from such acts as VOIVOD along with the inherent familiar traits that can be heard from all members other musical projects.
Tracklisting for Dimensional Bleedthrough goes as follows: 'Dimensional Bleedthrough', 'Autocthon', 'Aridity', 'The Mountain', 'Intraum', 'untitled', 'Monolith Of Possession'
An MP3 of the title track can be heard here.
Look for Dimensional Bleedthrough to unleash itself November 10th.
