Debiut KRVNA pod koniec listopada

 

Today, Seance Records sets November 26th as the international release date for Krvna's highly anticipated debut album, Sempinfernus, on CD and cassette tape formats.

It was but the early days of autumn 2021 when the mysterious entity of Krvna emerged from its vampyric slumber and released its debut demo, Long Forgotten Relic, via Seance. With merely two tracks, here did Krvna paint a cursed canvas of sublime vampyric black metal rooted in the craggiest corners of the '90s. An auspicious first start, but something was truly stirring...

Indeed, it takes black-leathery winged flight with Krvna's debut full-length, Sempinfernus. Immersive and magickal, redolent of the glorious past yet evincing a character that's timeless and transportative, Sempinfernus is black metal mysticism at its very finest. The soundfield that maestro Krvna Vatra erects is sumptuous beyond compare - its hues of richest purple, its touch velvety as it swirls around one's spirit. His songwriting cruises and crests and cruises some more, its passages employed with expert care, each one seemingly reaching catharsis every step of the way. As such, Krvna's iteration of idiomatic "vampyric black metal" is rooted more in intent rather than sticking to the proverbial letter; similarly, to qualify Sempinfernus as "cosmic" would also miss the point. Simply put, Krvna here creates black metal when it was BLACK METAL - past, present, future. All is cursed...

Suitably grandiose, exceptionally otherworldly, dazzling and spire-like in its heights and seemingly fathomless in its depths, Krvna's Sempinfernus is sanguineous decadence writ large and a glorious triumph for Australia's ever-fertile black metal underground.
