![Grab - Kremess - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/188a41cf-613b-4cd7-b7b5-2e19f521542e.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
GRÀB offer both, continuity and change, on their sophomore full-length InchKremessInch. The Bavarian black metal project founded by vocalist Grant continues to revolve lyrically around tales and traditions narrated in the local dialect of Germany's southernmost Alpine state Bavaria. InchKremessInch means 'funeral feast' in that language and death plays a leading role on this album. Musically, GRÀB still feature a prominent traditional instrument of their region, the hammered dulcimer. This gets combined with particularly Norwegian strands of black metal such as early GEHENNA, ULVER, and DARKTHRONE as well as taking inspiration from German pioneers of the genre namely NAGELFAR and LUNAR AURORA. Adding to the local sonic colours are many fresh ideas and sounds that came with English guitarist Gnast, who has replaced previous main songwriter Grain in the meantime. A host of guest musicians including members of EMPYRIUM, TRIPTYKON, and DARK FORTRESS among others has further enhanced the musical spectrum. GRÀB, meaning Inchold and greyInch in the local dialect, were conceived by former DARK FORTRESS frontman Grant who wanted to bring a particularly Bavarian expression to black metal. The earlier collaboration between Grant and guitarist Grain resulted in the of the debut full-length InchZeitlangInch in 2021, which channelled the black metal spirit of the early 90s much to the delight of both critics and fans. With InchKremessInch, GRÀB are infusing Bavarian black metal with new power that is bound to expand their growing empire far beyond the borders of their homeland. Album Tracks 1. Waidler 2.

'Constant Connection' is the new album from Perth-based duo Erasers. Forming as a home recording project over a decade ago, they documented their early sound in a steady flow of CD-Rs, tapes and 7Inch releases before signing to U.S. tag Fire Talk for their subsequent releases, including 2019's Pulse Points, which Bandcamp called 2019's Pulse Points Inchtheir best album yetInch, Inchrecalling the bombed-out electronic textures of Low's recent work.Inch Having shared the stage with artists such as The Soft Moon, Grouper and Prince Rama, their live show is a trance masterclass weaving organ drones and snaking guitar-and-synth interplay with Rebecca Orchard's towering incantations. Inspired by their discontent with current world affairs as well as a fascination with 1970s National Geographic, the dreamy, synth-driven soundscapes of new album Constant Connection (via Fire Talk & Night School in the UK) continue the pair's gift for melding ambient beats and drone-y vocals into a hypnotizing , offering an eye into the interiors of a world that's mesmerizing in it's soft-focused lens. Staying true to the psychedelic minimalism and definitive pop-structures that remain key components of the band's signature sound, the new record refines their journey deeper into dreamy territory that feels comforting in all it's subdued form.01.
