Earache has announced the addition of Danish Death/Thrash wrecking machine Urkraft to their ranks for a worldwide multi-album deal.
Formed in the small Danish provincial town of Svendborg and now residing in
Copenhagen the five piece released their excellent debut album 'Eternal Cosmic Slaughter' in March 2004. Blending an unnerving sense of aggression, speed and flesh peeling vocals Urkraft also expertly incorporate the use of atmospheric, soul penetrating keyboards adding another dimension to their already massive sound.
Set to record their second album at Antfarm studio with Tue Madsen
in July/August the band warn fans to expect something altogether darker and more brutal than the already jaw dropping first record.
Front man Thomas had this to say on the communion: "When we started out we
always had the "Ear-plugged" compilation in the cd-player and were of course motivated by the many cool acts featured on that cd. Now Urkraft is signing with the same label that in our eyes has been releasing some of the most important metal bands. We are looking forward to release our second album and to co-operate with Earache Records in the next chapter of Urkraft and our metal music."
