“Arvet” (“The Heritage”) continues where “Syner” left off. Once again, Erik has struggled with the endless big questions that sensitive people have always struggled with and have tried to express. From the small and seemingly insignificant in every human being, to something that always pulsates and becomes meaningful in some way; beyond the meadows and the forests.

The heritage we carry within us is something we never can escape from. An inheritance is something that characterizes every individual in often paradoxical ways. It may be a social heritage, a biological heritage, a religious heritage, etc. With this album Grift wants to illuminate the always ongoing journey from the small safe place in each mans heart to the great unforeseen life. We often think that everything is going to shape from scratch to something unique. But sooner or later we understand our vulnerabilities and falls back to what we have inherited since we were innocent children.

The passion and despair found herein claw at your soul and heartstrings, leaving you breathless yet rejuvenated by the sheer force of the emotional outburst carried out by the six diverse songs. With a foundation in both desolate folk and melancholic harsh metal, “Budet” employs traditional instruments such as the lonely chords of a reed organ and exquisite violins, the latter courtesy of Georg Börner (ColdWorld, Sangre de Muerdago.) Erik Gärdefors’s vehement, bordering on desperate, vocal outbursts convey the introspective and thoughtful lyrics in a most gripping manner, and the thick rural atmosphere is at the same time both nostalgic, anguish-filled and redeeming.

Built upon a concept stained with inspiration drawn from great elder poets like Johannes Edfelt, Pär Lagerkvist & Dan Andersson among others GRIFT delivers rugged, hackneyed & melancholic metal in a way most pleasant.

Named after the promethean angels that sinned against God in the Apocrypha, GRIGORIEN was originally conceived in 2006 by Spedalsk and Benedictus as a tool for uncompromising hate propaganda and a call to violence against religion and in particular the Abrahamitic three. Starting in 2007, a demo was released every three years, and then, in 2015, came a split with Danish comrades Ligfaerd. Thereafter, silence…until now.

At long last, GRIGORIEN are set to release their full-length debut, Magtens Evangelium. With a lineup that presently includes vocals by Spedalsk (who also lends his voice to Witchcult), guitars and bass by Benedictus (who also plays bass in Witchcult and Ligfaerd), and drums by Geistaz (who has the solo project GEISTAZ’IKA), GRIGORIEN hereby encompass past, present, and future with their vintage black metal ultraviolence.

Black Metal

Hollow, swirling strings awash with thundersnow synth… hailstorm rhythm computer and a wolf’s call ravening for blood.

Six mysteries bound by war and grief, romance and myth.

A decade’s culmination of great work wrought by ancient, crimson-stained vehemence – and a new era’s genesis.”

Grógaldr is the carnal compilation of this entity’s grim conception. A litany of heresies unshackled and let loose one last time before the grimoires of Grógaldr are finally brought to a close. A ravishing onslaught of tortuous tenacity, Grógaldr favours the sounds of an endless fury here, delivering a blistering percussive framework of perpetual blast beats and flesh weeping tremolo entropy—these sections contrasted by breakdown of blood and hallucinogenic soundscapes of hissing guitar torment reverb feedback. Hypnosis of hellfire and void of wandering, Grógaldr may very well be the only chance to obtain these occult orations upon vinyl wax, before they are sealed away again, this time, for an eternity.

Two great bands together in a covenant of Black Metal, each one parading its unique approach and both building a strong split, a brilliant release.

GRYFTIGÆN returns after the shattering of peace and light with the Debut LP “Graven Til Måneåpenbaringer” that was delivered by Inferna Profundus Records. A new Full-Length embodiment of aggression and carnage. “Fehunðyrdauðr” offers seven tracks of soulless and raw black metal that parallels the sounds of true death and decay. Ferocious growling vocals that are solidified into the mortal existence with hypnotic and voided atmospheres. GRYFTIGÆN bestows unholy and dark afflictions on this piece of Raw Black Metal hatred.
