Today, Purity Through Fire announces April 4th as the international release date for a brand-new EP from Granitader, Schlachtenklang, on digipack CD format.
Following last year's masterful debut album, Der Wald zwischen den Welten, Granitader continue to storm the ramparts with the three-song / 16-minute Schlachtenklang. Short but most definitely sweet, this new EP is absolutely bursting at the seams with triumph and urgency; any longer and the listener might have a heart attack! Whereas that celebrated first full-length showed the Germans' masterful grasp of songwriting and dynamics - and plenty of confidence and charisma to spare - here do Granitader light a fire under their pagan black metal, swarming from every direction with swords-aloft bloodlust and righteous bravado. Comparisons to the likes of Windur, Falkenbach, or fellow Teutonic horde Horn are still valid, but daresay do none of them whip forth such a life-affirming fury quite like Schlachtenklang, and the incorporation of occasional deathly vocals is a welcome development. Old souls who exude the effervescence of the new, Granitader continue their ascent to the top of the pagan pack with Schlachtenklang!
In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Durch die Felder" HERE at Purity Through Fire's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
