Spanish black metal band Kreyl is set to release their debut album ‘Obscure Rise of Ancient Eulogy’ on October 18th 2024 via Finnish Inverse Records.
The first single ‘Medusa’s Death’ has been released.
The band comments this first single:
“The song ‘Medusa’s Death’ is based on the myth of Perseus and Medusa. Medusa is one of the three Gorgons who is often associated with death, with fear. In the song, the moment before her death at the hands of Perseus is described in a bloody and gruesome way. The deliberate choice of this myth is because she represents horror, the other side of beauty that fascinates and repels, seduces and kills. The female gaze, usually a source of seduction, in Medusa becomes a source of instant death, turning anyone who looks at her into solid stone.”
The Kreyl project was born during the winter of 2020, in the city of Barcelona (Catalunya/Spain), from an idea of Virus Tremor, guitarist of the band and also guitarist of the black metal band Nefasta and the brutal death metal band Handle with Hate.
It was inspired by the album ‘I’ by the Finnish black metal band Hedonihil and many other bands of the second wave of black metal.
Later on the Kreyl project was joined by:
Croma Lan Ro as drummer, also drummer of the black metal band Fogos;
Necrum Nebulas as bass player and already a member of the brutal death bands Caustic and Handle with Hate;
I. Luna as guitarist, already member of the brutal death band Caustic and Eris Nocturna Aura on vocals, already singer in the black metal band Nefasta and mastermind of the dark ambient solo project Aetheria (Italy).
Kreyl’s idea is to move away from the usual themes centred on Satan and Anti-Christianity and to focus more on historical-cultural themes closely related to the concept of death, occultism, ancient civilizations, exalting also the most raw, violent and brutal local mythology and paganism from a philosophical and dark point of view.
