New Swedish occult rock quintet Skräcken aren’t precisely blazing new trails with their feminine fronted, ’70s-influenced onerous rock, however on their debut full-length, Echoes From the Void, they separate themselves from the pack by setting a dismal, haunting temper that’s uniquely their very own. The nice and cozy recording sounds prefer it was made in an old-school analog recording studio, with the band—Filip Spetan Magnusson (bass), Daniel Nordin (drums), Sebastian Lindberg (guitars), Martin Nordin (guitars), Sofie-Lee Johansson (vocals)—gathered round a Ouija board, communing with darkish spirits. The Sabbathy riffs coalesce with Johannsson’s mystical vocals in a doomy, tension-laden dance.
Echoes From the Void is ready for launch on vinyl, CD and digitally through Dying Victims Productions on June 20. Place your preorder right here or right here.
The band supplied this cryptic assertion relating to its debut full-length:
“Echoes From the Void is the lingering presence of the vicious Maran. She rides your desires, making you see a glimpse of the dreadful evening and an ever lastning nightmare that stretches past the sanity of a sleepless thoughts.”
