Norwegian black metal veterans Koldbrann have revealed the details of their fourth full-length, Ingen Skånsel, which will come out on 23 August via recently signed with Dark Essence Records on CD, cassette tape, smoke marble vinyl formats, and digitally.
After almost a decade hiatus, Koldbrann reappeared on the scene last December with a limited edition 7" vinyl single, Den 6. Massedød (Manna fra en annen himmel). The two tracks were recorded during the same studio sessions as the new album.
Koldbrann's sound, whilst deeply rooted in the true Norwegian black metal tradition, manages to remain fresh, raw and different. Anyone hearing Ingen Skånsel for the first time will instantly recognise Mannevond's trademark blacker-than-black raw vocals, which, combined with Kvass' clever Norwegian lyrics and the band's unique riffs, confirm that Koldbrann has carved out its distinctive sound. The title Ingen Skånsel, which means "No Mercy", says it all, for this is a merciless and deeply aggressive album that offers no quarter and takes no prisoners.
Stay tuned for the first album's track, "I Unaturens Vold", due on 20 June, and Koldbrann's live appearances in the Czech Republic, Poland, UK, Austria and Switzerland, as well as first-time performances in Canada and Romania, with more to come. Link
