Collector's Edition in 6-panel Digipack, limited to 500 copies.
Skratte was founded as a solo-project by Hevnbrann in 2012 in order to materialize his musical vision. Skratte's words treat hatred, misanthropy and damnation - a lyrical reflection of a world that is devoid of any deity and can only be held in place through the devotion of every single natural spirit.
Inspired by the coldness and brutality of Norwegian Black Metal as well as the characteristic versatility and harmonious playing of the French, Skratte combines the most diverse elements and motives in its distinct sounds, and should especially appeal to fans of Taake, Ungfell, Aaskereia or earlier works of Ulver. With “Akt I – Ein Feuer entfacht”, you will be able to discover a multifarious piece of art for yourself.
Collector's Edition in 4-panel digipack with 12-page booklet, limited to 500 copies.

Inspired by the coldness and brutality of Norwegian Black Metal as well as the characteristic versatility and harmonious playing of the French, Skratte combines the most diverse elements and motives in its distinct sounds.
While “Akt I” still had more of a classic, melodic Black Metal orientation with Folk elements, Hevnbrann allows “Akt II” to rise up against the boundaries of conventional Folk Black Metal, often crossing them and merging furious Black Metal with epic male vocals, Gothic Rock reminiscences, monumental acoustic arrangements and melancholic violins into a totally unique soundscape that reaches out to listeners and then draws them in relentlessly.
Thematically, “Akt II” gives a voice to the nature spirits and accompanies them on an emotional journey that takes them ever onwards, struggling and striving against the turmoil of today’s world.
