CRAFT
Fuck the universe (2005)

Grim and cold black metal, Sweden

reissue 2019, CD in deluxe 8 panel Digipak.

Including 3 bonus from 1999 rehearsal.

CRAFT embodies the black metal virtue of raw spiritual energy expressed through violent, ripping guitar-work and unholy rhythms enhanced by demonic vocals. The band has long enjoyed a massive cult status within underground circles, yet also gained strong acclaim and recognition by mainstream metal media and critics. Swedish nihilist horde CRAFT unleash the long awaited reissue of 2005's hallmark album 'Fuck The Universe'. Commonly regarded as one of the most important black metal releases of the last 20 years, 'Fuck The Universe' pays respects to the orthodox black metal of the past while dishing out noteworthy levels of extremity and fear.

Clear and gold mixed 12" vinyl (33 rpm) in deluxe jacket with gloss laminate with double sided insert.

With 'White Noise and Black Metal', Sweden's CRAFT return to strength after a long hiatus.
The forthcoming album combines the vitriolic virtues of 'Terror Propaganda' (2002) with an updated songwriting that is as mature and intelligent as it is razor-sharp. The fast and furious of extreme metal contrasts with dark and depressive passages with added undertones of black 'n' roll. Now CRAFT are ready to take a giant step in their career with the extremely strong 'White Noise and Black Metal'. This is misanthropic Swedish black metal honed to perfection.

For fans of early-DARKTHRONE, ARMAGEDDA, PEST, URGEHAL, TSJUDER.

Originally released in 2002, CRAFT's 'Terror Propaganda' saw the cult Swedish black metal band sharpen their knives and delivering one of their most focused albums. Long out of print, the uncompromising 'Terror Propaganda' is some of the most grim and hideous European black metal. On it CRAFT take influence from the old guard (genre cornerstones such as BATHORY and CELTIC FROST) and combine these with their own stamp of sonic violence. 'Terror Propaganda' is one of CRAFT's most unforgiving records, and remains a highlight to this day.

For fans of early-DARKTHRONE, ARMAGEDDA, PEST, URGEHAL, TSJUDER.

Swedish black metal legends CRAFT reissue their long out of print, landmark debut album 'Total Soul Rape'.
A cornerstone of the Swedish black metal scene,'Total Soul Rape' is a bold and brazen collection of 9 tracks that established CRAFT as one of the angriest and most nihilistic entities in black metal. Tracks like "Death To Planet Earth", "Ultimate Satan", and the album's ferocious title track are the blueprint for how extreme underground black metal should sound; with memorable riffs, chaotic drumming, and some of the most misanthropic vocals of all time.
A wholly unrelenting black metal classic, 'Total Soul Rape' is a manifesto of absolute negativity that introduced CRAFT as unrivaled in their quest to be the most pessimistic, unforgiving, and aggressive band in metal.
Death to planet Earth!

For fans of DARKTHRONE, PEST, ARMAGGEDDA, URGEHAL, TSJUDER, KATHARSIS, CARPATHIAN FOREST.
