KRALLICE - Albumankündigung & erste Single
Following years of relentless evolution, New York's avant-garde black metal visionaries KRALLICE have unveiled "Living Useless Ritual", the first single from their forthcoming full-length album "Scour Order", set for release on September 18 via Profound Lore Records.
Serving as the first glimpse into the album's formidable sonic landscape, "Living Useless Ritual" channels KRALLICE's unmistakable blend of labyrinthine riffcraft, unrelenting intensity, and fearless experimentation, offering a first taste of the dark and expansive world explored throughout
"Scour Order".

With "Scour Order", KRALLICE return to Profound Lore Records, the label that released the band's first three albums, while revisiting aspects of their classic dual-guitar approach in a new chapter of their ever-evolving sound.
Formed in 2007 in Woodhaven, Queens, New York City, KRALLICE began as a collaboration between guitarists Colin Marston and Mick Barr, initially conceived as a black metal recording project. Following the release of their self-titled debut in 2008 with drummer Lev Weinstein, the project quickly evolved into a full band with the addition of Nicholas McMaster on bass and vocals.
Across twenty full-length albums and EPs, KRALLICE have continuously expanded the boundaries of black metal through dense, polyphonic compositions and an uncompromising spirit of experimentation. While their early releases established the band's signature blend of technical precision and relentless intensity, subsequent works increasingly embraced atmospheric textures, unconventional songwriting, synthesizers, and shifting instrumental roles. Beginning with "Loum" in 2017, which introduced collaborations with Dave Edwardson (NEUROSIS), and continuing through the synth-heavy, lineup-shifting explorations of "Demonic Wealth" and its successors, KRALLICE steadily broadened their sonic identity without sacrificing the complexity at the core of their sound.
Tracklist:
01. Agonal Shining
02. Grievous Corrector
03. Kill the Guardian
04. Unceasing Path
05. Living Useless Ritual
06. Indecipherable Divinities
07. Her Green Arms
08. Scour Order
For the new album, "Scour Order", KRALLICE returns to the old instrumentation with Colin and Mick on guitars and McMaster on bass, but Colin’s vocals have stuck around. The new album is raging and dark, dense but also expansive. It marks both a return to familiar foundations and a continuation of the band's ongoing evolution.
Coinciding with the release of "Scour Order", KRALLICE will embark on their first European tour. Although the band has historically prioritized writing and recording over extensive touring, they have shared stages with Wolves in the Throne Room, Gorguts, Portal, Ludicra, Withered, Vampillia, Pale Chalice, and most recently Blood Incantation, while also appearing at festivals including Maryland Deathfest, Incubate, and Roadburn, where the new material received its live premiere at the 2026 edition.
