German Post-Punk band KRACHT are announcing the release of their debut album "Korridor" this November 15th, 2024 !
A first video for the song "Affirmation" can be now watched on Youtube !
“Korridor” is about departure and termination. About the courage to take the first step and jump into cold water. But also about defeat and ruin, the failure to meet one's own expectations.
It's about breaks. With conventions. With expectations. With the zeitgeist. And also with your own homeland. While the lyrics revolve around stagnation and social coldness, the music pushes forward energetically. Everything here screams : Get out of here. But where to ? The answer is missing. Because KRACHT makes music that opens doors and then slams them shut again.
KRACHT makes guitar music at a time when guitar music is actually dead. Everywhere you come across the ruins of once great genres. A bit of punk here, a bit of indie there. There a wall of guitars, there again a crystal clear melody. From this the band builds a sound that sounds cool, urban and modern, but at the same time fragile and old school. Music that knows that it is out of time and that is exactly where it draws its strength from. Because it doesn't have to adapt. Doesn't have to fit in anywhere. There may be more question than answer.
Born 1969, grew up with the NWOBHM sounds, musically educated with cult french magazines that were ENFER and METAL ATTACK, definitely nailed to the style when "The Number Of The Beast" by IRON MAIDEN was released... From 1982, it was clear life would never be the same ! Young & getting wild to the HEAVY sounds of SAXON, VENOM, BLACK SABBATH, MOTORHEAD, Young Fab also discovered thanks to school mates the NOISE, FILTH & FURY of Hard-Core/Punk bands like G.B.H, DISCHARGE, BROKEN BONES but also CRO-MAGS, BAD BRAINS, FUGAZI... and later on, through the 90's, everything that was ALTERNATIVE, EXPERIMENTAL, GRUNGE, INDUSTRIAL (SONIC YOUTH, NINE INCH NAILS, SOUDGARDEN, ALICE IN CHAINS)... Passion & curiosity grew up as years went by ... Fate was SEALED... no turning back ! No Music = No Life !
