After a period of six years in the wilderness, Norway’s exponent of groove-laden black metal, Khold, will return with a new album, Til Endes, set for release on September 30th via Peaceville Records. Khold has now launched the album’s title track and can be streamed at this location.
Til Endes, undoubtedly the band’s strongest work to date, explores the dark foreboding corners of the metal spectrum with eerie riffs, grim vocals courtesy of mysterious frontman Gard, and catchy hooks which are so often ignored in the genre.
Expanding upon Khold’s staple sound of mid-tempo primitive and heavy black metal, the band’s sixth studio release adds an additional aggressive edge to the tracks overall, whilst retaining its use of solely Norwegian lyrics. The album also notably includes a cover of the Sepultura classic, “Troops Of Doom”, given the full Khold treatment, and titled “Dommens Arme”.
Til Endes was recorded at Studio Fredman (Amon Amarth, At the Gates, Opeth) in Sweden in June with the lineup of Gard (vocals/guitar), Sarke (drums), Rinn on guitar and Crowbel on bass.
Tracklisting:
“Myr”
“Skogens Oye”
“Ravnestrupe”
“Dommens Arme”
“Til Endes”
“Det Dunkle Dyp”
“Avund”
“Hengitt”
Khold formed in Oslo in 2000 by Gard and Sarke (currently seen in his own, self-named act alongside Darkthrone’s Nocturno Culto), as Khold emerged out of the ashes of the cult band Tulus. The band has recorded five albums to date since its debut Masterpiss Of Pain was released on Moonfog Productions, and has successfully toured with bands such as Satyricon and Behemoth in the past.
Stay tuned for more information on Khold and Til Endes, out this fall on Peaceville.
