KRAKOW - Announce New Album, First Single And Video Online

Norwegian experimental post/progressive metallers Krakow, following the laborious process of distilling two albums worth of material into one focused gem, they'll give us minus later this summer. The pinnacle achievement of Krakow'S thirteen-year existence. After a year of recording, shaping, re-recording and refining, minus has been reduced to the bare essence of who Krakow are as individuals, as a group and as story tellers. An album that defies any attempts at genre definition. This release covers the heavy, the subtle, the melodic, the atonal, the groovy, the sluggish, the dense, the airy, the naked, and always, always, the wall of sound where no light can escape.
minus is scheduled for release on Karisma Records on 31st August and "Black Wandering Sun" is the first single from the album. With this song, and video animated by Esteban Sebastián Farias, Krakow pays tribute to their influences, a concept enhanced by the guest appearance of Phil Campbell of Motörhead fame.
The band explains: ""Black Wandering Sun" is an homage to our heroes who passed during the last couple of years, pulling inspiration from their universe, tipping the hat to their words and visiting them as the stars they are. And to top it off we were helped out by Phil who did the most rock'n'roll solo to provide the glitz and stardom the song needed to reach the summit of heaviness. The video is a reflection of the story the song tells, yet it becomes its own story, like a parallel trail through the universe, much like everything else that's going on with this album. Godspeed, you Starman!" Link
