Grima announce new album ‘Nightside’
GRIMA have announced a new album!
Titled Nightside, the upcoming album from the Russian black metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Frostbitten, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via their new home at Napalm Records.
Speaking about the upcoming new album, the band shares, “GRIMA is a secretive cult devoted to an ancient, long-forgotten Siberian forest deity, lying in wait, shrouded within the endless embrace of the Taiga. Our music is a ritual of reverence to the ancient magic of the forest, an endless dance of mysterious entities and ancient spirits, a beautiful and terrifying legend cloaked in the form of Siberian atmospheric black metal. Nightside is a mysterious and melodic recording, infused with the mesmerizing cold of the Siberian night wilderness – brutal, yet equally beautiful and irresistibly alluring. A mysterious nocturnal land where winds slam the shutters of cabins in abandoned villages, guiding stars only lead you deeper into the silver storm, and a dead man is knocking his claw on an ancient pine, counting down the remaining time of yet another lost.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Skull Gatherers.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Skull Gatherers tells the story of the Skull Gatherers, particularly devoted servants of GRIMA, who are dedicated to harvesting trophies from the bodies of the deceased and weaving them into an endless collection. Each lyric and chord resonate with the somber silence and chill of the earth, the final resting place for those who have found peace in the Taiga. The song transcends listeners into a realm of nocturnal shadows, rugged nature, and mysticism – the perfect soundtrack for those prepared to confront what lies beyond the boundary between life and death.”
