Folter Records proudly presents ANCESTRAL SOUNDS, the second longplayer from PESTKRAFT, who are preparing to spread the deadly plague of their relentless and violent yet sublime and mystically charged Black Metal across Europe and the world from Valencia, Spain. At the center of PESTKRAFT's traditional, but also compositionally unexpected sounds, are the expressive, infernal vocals of band founder and vocalist Blodig, who outlines the intentions and actions of PESTKRAFT as follows: Our music is for the darkest audience, those who are attracted to the other side, death, ancestors and roots. We talk about the importance of the cult of the dead, about the customs corrupted by the modern world. We like to think of death as a friendly figure, which picks us up in our last breath, and of the entities that await us on the other side. The rituals, drums and offerings of the afterlife. Of plagues, diseases and how dreary the world is and the dull emptiness of humans. PESTKRAFT were founded in 2014. After a first announcement of the upcoming black death with the 5-track EP Pest in September 2016, the debut Litanies Of The Plague followed in 2018. Now ANCESTRAL SOUNDS is their damn intense new album - eight devastating songs with an unmistakable reference to the Norwegian tradition of the early 90s
