KRALLICE + Khateÿm

Doors: 19h

Show: 20h

Krallice plays a form of progressive, highly technical black metal. The band's music features dense multi-tracked guitars often performing fast, precise tremolo-picked guitar passages. The band make frequent use of long, complex song structures. The earlier material drew more heavily on early black metal bands such as Gorgoroth, and Ulver, though over time the band have significantly expanded their sound beyond those early influences.

While they originally opted for a lo-fi approach to production (as is traditional in black metal), Colin Marston said that "Our music was too dense to come across successfully with a low-fi approach. So instead, I decided to do a full-on 2" tape, everything multi-mic'ed, layered, and carefully mixed production."

Members • Mick Barr – vocals, guitar • Colin Marston – guitar • Lev Weinstein - drums • Nick McMaster - bass, vocals

Musik | Krallice

Khateÿm (Arabic for ‘ring’) is the dark and intriguing union of Sarah (Philippe Jadin, COLRZ, La compagnie du Bus ...) and Thomas (Chaos E.T. Sexual, Corrosive Elements, NNRA...), united like a dancing spectre evoked by the Arabic vocals of Sarah, alias Taïf, amidst the vines strung by Thomas’s melancholic bouzouki. In a minor key, the duo cries out the exile and the memory of a land at war. To achieve this, they rely on deep keyboards to guide an enveloping, dark voice that defies expectations, set against black metal rhythms, giving rise to music that defies convention, powerful and epic. Their debut album ‘Jumuud’, mixed by Elya Bernard (Deûle, Death By Fog, Sunwell), is due for release in September 2026.
