Kall - Brand - VINYL LP

Kall - Inchthe Velvet Underground of black 'n' rollInch according to Cvlt Nation - have come a long way. It has been six years since the successors of depressive black metal pioneers Lifelover released their self-titled debut, and while the ghost of their former band floats above three of the members, their second full-length InchBrandInch is a paean to self-empowerment and rigorous individualism. InchWe are basically still dealing with past abuse and angst,Inch the group states, Inchonly in a more constructive way with the same sincerity.Inch The raw-sounding, yet refined compositions mirror the emotional purity their creators wanted to maintain. The title InchBrandInch (InchfireInch) refers to the song 'Eld' as a tale about a violently cathartic experience at a forest fire, making the primordial power of nature a recurring theme. In this sense, the album is a call to overcome suffering by facing it right on, using the idioms of Scandinavian black metal, shoe-gazing post rock, saxophone-fueled psychedelia and the saddest of pop to get the message across. Break the shackles of society and let go of any preconceived notions while keeping in mind that you are not special, find your purpose in life to be as free as you possibly can. Or - to use the Swedes' own plain words InchKall, like Lifelover, shows it's collective middle-finger to any scenes. The more they conform, the more we will set ourselves apart from them...Inch InchBrandInch is available as Digipak CD, gatefold double LP with etching (black, limited neon orange transparent).
