KHOLD US RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED

Philadelphia: Candlelight Records confirms April 20 as the US release date for the new album from Norway's Khold. Titled Morke Gravers Kammer, it is the third full-length album from popular black metal band.

Recorded in Norway and completed following the band’s 2003 European tour with Satyricon, Morke Gravers Kammer (The Gravediggers Dark Chamber) is an eclectic collection of fast and mid-tempo tracks that features the Olso-based band’s simple yet commanding take on the extreme style. The album features artwork by illustrious Norwegian photographer Marcel Leliënhof. He further directed the band’s first video for album track “Dod.”

Drummer/founder Sarke says, “the songs on this album are strong and the Khold trademark is there all the way. We have our own take on black metal. We offer something different within the genre and that can only be positive.”

Formed in 2000, Khold have released two albums to critical acclaim. Their sound has been likened to an updated Bathory. Digital Metal noted of Masterpiss of Pain (2001), “a measured form of aggression; a mid-paced mauling that hits slow, strikes fast, and leaves you bludgeoned.” Highwire Daze says of Phantom (2002), “a terrifying slab of extreme terror.”

Track listing for Morke Gravers Kammer includes: Atselgraver, Dod Niflheimr, Hevnerske, Med Nebb og Klor, Morke Gravers Kammer, Opera Seria Sjeleskjender, Vardoger, and Kamp.

Candlelight Records, with offices in Philadelphia and headquartered in London, is distributed exclusively in the US by Caroline Distribution; in Canada by PHD Canada; throughout the rest of the world by Plastichead Music Distribution.
