Following on from their debut “Kravaal” (self-released, 2022), the second album “Donkere Paden” will bring even more darkness and despair which will be divided into seven chapters. The album features guest vocalists H. from Oerheks and Shazzula from the revered Wolvennest.
The band states:
“We’ve poured our souls into crafting an atmospheric black metal album that will transport you to realms of chilling beauty and crushing despair. Prepare yourselves, for KrvL’s reign of darkness begins anew when Autumn falls…”
KrvL previously released the atmospheric single and video ‘Zielenrust’ which features Shazzula of Wolvennest. The band commented about her contribution:
“When we were listening to the demo of this song we felt like there was something missing. So we came up with the idea to add some female vocals on the intro. Shazzula was our first choice and luckily she liked our music and she said yes.”
Check the video for the track, below:
KrvL comprises nameless souls that drift through the Kravaal Forest in Belgium in search of the light amongst the darkness they find themselves in. With lyrics in Dutch, the band contemplates topics such as nature, finding inner peace, nemesis, resurrection and an attempt to find light in the darkness.
Musically, the band is all about atmosphere. With a foundation of traditional 90s and modern black metal, the anonymous band also mixes post-metal, doom and sludge influences.
KrvL was established at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, creating a perfect mood for the writing and recording of their debut album “Kravaal”. Eventually, the album was self-released digitally in 2022 and then on vinyl in 2023. 2024 sees the band reach new heights with the signing to These Hands Melt and the release of their second album.
