Krahnholm - Granting Death CD

Krahnholm - Granting Death CD (COD Label) 6-PANEL MATTE DIGIPAK /atmospheric raw black from Russia.
Granting Death is the sophomore full length from Moscow’s Krahnholm, a four piece atmospheric black metal band. Released in June of 2018 through Der Schwarze Tod and COD Music and Distro, this offering features six tracks of swirling, fog-drenched black metal. Where the band’s debut album - The Past Must Be Consigned to the Flames - showed their unquestionable potential in spite of a few stumbles, Granting Death sees a confident band striding into their own.
It’s evident from the blazing maelstrom of tremolo riffing that Krahnholm has effectively stepped out from the shadows of that usual Russian black metal sound. The album still bears some of the scene’s striking influence that was so prevalent on the debut, but the band reaches more into the realms of the second wave this time around. The result is a fine blend of the raw and abrasive black metal Russia is usually known for and the cold fire and melodic undertone of the Scandinavian scene.
