We immediately fell in love with Steven Grace's music: music composed with intelligence, well focused on the emotions it wants to convey, careful in the choice of sounds... When we asked to introduce himself to the HDK audience, Steven did so with the sense of proportion that distinguishes his style: “I've been making electronic music since 1990. My first two albums were privately distributed as homemade cassettes to friends, but since then I've released nine albums via the internet. My main project has been LOGIC GATE, for music in the “Berlin School” style, but I've also released instrumental electronic music of various styles under my own name, plus one album under the project name WOGGLEFOLD. 

Hailing from Norway, KVAD indeed performs black metal exclusively in the ancient Nordic tradition. The band is yet another project of the ever-prolific Peregrinus, who numbers the likes of UNHOLY CRAFT, SOLUS GRIEF, Hjemsøkt, Darkest Bethlehem, and Praefuro among his current endeavors. Then a duo, in 2022, KVAD released the Invocations EP and Cold & Dark, As Life debut album in quick succession, and now Peregrinus continues to strike while the burning church is hot with their second album, So Old.

On one hand, So Old is aptly titled: the album begins with a desolate melancholy of what once was, and then the blizzard of distortion leads into a cryogenic grimness not unlike mid-'90s Gorgoroth, particularly the hackle-raising, Hat-esque screams of Peregrinus. And so KVAD follows this trajectory for a good deal of the album...but their songwriting unfolds, fever-dreaming into strange shapes not found among the ashes of those churches. While never dissonant per se, that blizzard of riffing soon compounds into a fury/flurry backed by Peregrinus' brisk-yet-building drums; it's a howling hysteria that's not altogether untuneful, and its slipstreaming vortex suggests the superlative late '90s psychedelia of Svest and Weakling. But, much as he does with his other projects, Peregrinus is not one to be (exclusively) pinned down to one specific style, and possesses the songwriting nous to turn these classics-minded creations into ones respectably modern. So Old, and yet so alive!

Swedish black metal legends CRAFT reissue their long out of print, landmark debut album 'Total Soul Rape'.
A cornerstone of the Swedish black metal scene,'Total Soul Rape' is a bold and brazen collection of 9 tracks that established CRAFT as one of the angriest and most nihilistic entities in black metal. Tracks like "Death To Planet Earth", "Ultimate Satan", and the album's ferocious title track are the blueprint for how extreme underground black metal should sound; with memorable riffs, chaotic drumming, and some of the most misanthropic vocals of all time.
A wholly unrelenting black metal classic, 'Total Soul Rape' is a manifesto of absolute negativity that introduced CRAFT as unrivaled in their quest to be the most pessimistic, unforgiving, and aggressive band in metal.
Death to planet Earth!
