Sechs Jahre ist es her das "Torturmantra", das letzte Album der norwegischen Black Metaller GRAVDAL, erschien. Seitdem hat sich ein bischen was getan im Bandgefüge. Gitarrist Specter hat die Band verlassen um sich auf andere Projekte zu konzentrieren, Sänger Galge hat sich komplett zurückgezogen.

So besteht das aktuelle GRAVDAL Lineup aus den Bandgründern Phobos (Schlagzeuger bei AETERNUS, Livedrummer bei GORGOROTH) an der Gitarre und Taakesjel am Schlagzeug, dazu kommen noch die "Neuen" Eld (KRAKOW, AETERNUS) an Bass/Gesang und Saur (DOMINANZ) als Gitarrist.

Die Band arbeitet momentan hart an ihrem dritten Album "Kadaverin" und es gibt schon einen Rough Mix eines Albumsongs. Checkt "Domino" hier.

Phobos will noch was loswerden: "With our second album, "Torturmantra", we took a huge step forward, expanding the range of the band considerably, so rest assured that with “Kadaverin” we will be taking things even further”.

Nochmals Phobos zum neuen Lineup: "Shortly after Specter announced he was leaving, Galge let us know that he would be quitting the music business. We didn't announce anything at the time because we wanted to have everything in place first, so we'd like to take the opportunity now to thank him for all his work and all the good times together.

"We are, however, extremely happy with the addition of Eld and Saur to the lineup, and more than excited about bringing the new lineup to Blastfest. They are musicians of the highest calibre who we have known on a personal and professional level for a long time, and there is no doubt that their input has brought a new vitality to GRAVDAL. The track we are debuting is very much a rough mix, but we wanted to give fans a taste of the new GRAVDAL, and with Blastfest coming up, we thought this would be a good time to do it".
