Ghremdrakk

Ghremdrakk are an excellent Black Metal band from Belgium who generously sent copies of this CDR demo, Sterrenpracht, to Ludicra some years back. Since then it has been released on tape by Death Triumphant and CD by GoatowaRex. Ghremdrakk sing in their native Flemish but the subject matter of their choosing is universal: Satan and death. Ghremdrakk's unholy racket, with it's use of real instruments and raw approach, brings to mind the vibe of Black Metal circa 1994, before everyone had garageband, an evil pseudonym and a myspace page. Kvlt.

I don't understand why your simple black metal bands are linked with industrial music
Maybe you've to choose O malley and some minder simple stuff
Drone is not a sound for Maya l'abeille

this is awesome aesop. did they release anything else?

speaking of ludicra, when are you guys and gals touring again? ludicra needs to play in johnson city. if wolves in the throne room did it so can you! they had a good turnout, people aren't as opposed to black metal in the south as you might think!
