Norwegian black metal band Koldbrann has unleashed another glimpse into what to expect, with the release of the single "Fortærer av Minne og Form" from its impending album, Ingen Skånsel (No Mercy), due on 23 August via Dark Essence Records.
Koldbrann on the new track: "'Fortærer Av Minne Og Form', translated to 'Devourer Of Memory And Shape', is a ravaging brute that will consume your soul and engulf your being - bones and all!"
About his lyrics, Kvass commented: "The lyrics were pieced together back in 2018, with the aim of conveying a feeling of paranoia and threat of annihilation. They are inspired by Roko's Basilisk, the thought experiment about how a future all-powerful AI might seek to punish those who did not help it come into existence".
Songwriter Voidar gives us some insight into the music's background: "The opening riff dates back to some odd hours scratch recording in 2019. You never know when inspiration strikes, so better utilize its immediacy to later let it fester for years on some cheaply acquired solid state silicon device. Perhaps to one day come back and seek its revenge - accidentally not unlike the lyrical theme. Come 2020 and we are putting an album together. At the time I had been listening to a lot of Electric Wizard and High On Fire while also sustaining several bartenders. Unclear of any inspiration or thereof I summoned this dredging riff for a middle section to remedy an otherwise invariant arrangement, topping it off with a somewhat inspired lead. Scriptum est".
