Kurokuma release new song ‘Crux Ansata’

KUROKUMA have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Crux Ansata, is taken from the Sheffield-based sludge metal band’s upcoming new album, Of Amber And Sand, which is scheduled to be released in August this year, via self-release.

Speaking about the new song, drummer Joe Allen says, “Crux Ansata is the Coptic name of the Egyptian ankh, or symbol of life. Lyrically it’s based on the idea that we are born and given a certain amount of time to work with, and this time is the one thing that we can’t give away to others or take more of for ourselves. It’s the most precious thing we have because once it’s gone, everything is gone, and we have no way of replenishing it. We can make healthy choices etc, avoid danger, but in the end we can’t control it and we only have as much as we have. And it’s this idea that everyone is born rich with it, yet at the end of our lives even the most wealthy and powerful person cannot take anymore to extend theirs, whilst a poor infant is still luxuriously rich with it.”

Of Amber And Sand is set for release on August 9th via self-release. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
