"Kall - the Velvet Underground of black'n'roll" according to Cvlt Nation - have come a long way. Successors to depressive black metal pioneers Lifelover released their debut in 2014, and while the spirit of their previous band hovers over the three members, their second full-length album 'Brand' ('fire') is a paean to independence and rigorous individualism. Utilising the idioms of Scandinavian black metal, shoe-gaze post rock, saxophone-driven psychedelia and the saddest pop, the band delivers their message, breaking the shackles of society and abandoning all preconceived notions."
