The band comments on the single:

“The song “Nekromanteion of Ephyra”, describes the necromantic temple near the city of Ephira in ancient Greece, which the devotees believed to be the gate to Hades. It tells of the dark path taken by the faithful, the macabre ceremonies, rituals, offerings and sacrifices, as votive and propitiatory gestures”.

BIOGRAPHY:
The Kreyl project was born in the winter of 2020, in the city of Barcelona (Catalonia/Spain), from an idea of ​​Virus Tremor, guitarist of the band and also guitarist of the black metal band Nefasta and the brutal death metal band Handle with Hate. The project was inspired by the album “I” of the Finnish black metal band Hedonihil and by many other bands of the second wave of black metal. Later on, the Kreyl project was joined by: Croma Lan Ro as drummer, former drummer of the black metal band Fogos; Necrum Nebulas as bassist and former member of the brutal death bands Caustic and Handle with Hate; I. Luna as guitarist, former member of the brutal death band Caustic and Eris Nocturna Aura on vocals, former singer in the black metal band Nefasta and mastermind of the solo dark ambient project Aetheria (Italy).

Kreyl’s idea is to move away from the usual themes centered on Satan and anti-Christianity to focus more on historical-cultural themes closely linked to the concept of death, occultism, ancient civilizations, also exalting the most raw, violent and brutal local mythology and paganism from a philosophical and dark point of view.

The CD, strictly limited, is now available for pre-order

Infirmum’s “From The Depths I Cried” album takes metal lovers to the edge of symphonic doom suitable for autumn

The “Ultra Bra of symphonic doom metal” aka the seven-piece Infirmum release their second studio album “From The Depths I Cried” today. A good foretaste of the multifaceted ensemble released through Earache Records was already received earlier this fall, when the band released their single “Burn” with a spectacular visualiser video.

Infirmum’s large crew of seven are familiar people from the metal field; the band’s current or past bands include Lordi, Sanctuary of Hate, Grain of Pain, Moonwitch, Pettalom, Mourning Wood and Deathlike Silence.

For the now-published ensemble, the rather accomplished orchestra made two albums worth of songs, together with Juho Räihä, known from the band Swallow The Sun, acting as the producer of the new album.

“Some of the songs were already structurally ready when the EP was released, but they didn’t make it to that release. So it was quite a long process to complete this album. Many songs were left on the shelf after the selections, because we didn’t want to make a double album. Maybe some of them will be released later, but you’ll see that in the future,” says Timo Solonen.

The band, which lives in different parts of Finland, praises modern technology, which makes it possible to make songs together despite the kilometers in between. Four years have passed since the previous debut album Walls of Sorrow, so the band’s fans have also been eagerly waiting for the new album.

“There have been inquiries over time and I have answered that it will come when everything is ready. Now it is! I hope and believe that the wait has been worth it,” Solonen continues.

At the same time, the album is the first full-length album with the band’s new vocalist Sabine Blodwin.

“After Sabine joined, the band moved more Naps forward and her skills and nuances from different cultures are heard nicely in the songs. Eliel’s grunts are guaranteed stuff and work damn well. When making the record, it was also clear that the cello had to be given more space, and Elya handled her plot very well. Erna’s keyboards also played a big role and brilliantly bring out different moods,” continues Timo.

All this can also be heard on the single “Deception”, which can be downloaded from the album.

“It’s my absolute favorite from the album. The song is about pain, delusions, disappointments, but also the resilience of those things. No matter what happens, we ourselves are the only ones who can open our eyes, rise from the ashes and move on,” Sabine Blodwin sums up the song.

With the album, Infirmum is also slowly going to concerts, which will be updated later on the band’s website.

Infirmum is:
Vocals: Sabine Blodwin
Growl and bass: Taka Eliel
Guitar: Timo Solonen
Guitar: Joonas Siikavirta
Keyboards: Erna Siikavirta
Drums: Hanna-Leena Lassila
Cello: Elya
