Grand Harvest - necrosophic black/death metal
Old-school primitivity, ethereal dreamscapes, and esoteric sermons, welded into one collective vision since 2017.
GRAND HARVEST creates dark and misanthropic black/death metal with heavy, epic/atmospheric elements and very clear ties to the past and darker subject matters. A steady mix of old-school primitivity, ethereal dreamscapes, and esoteric sermons. It is a true collective effort, with all band members contributing to the song writing.
The lyrics, stemming from the thoughts and revelations of singer and lyricist Dr. Häll, reflect a deep resentment of the misery and tyranny congenital to sentient Being in general, and humanity in particular. Necrosophic gnosis, cast in the language of mystical eschatology, personal trials, and a peculiar brand of misanthropic empathy, led to a certain lyrical main theme: the blissful end of all things.
The band recorded a five track EP in May 2018, although they decided to not release it and instead focus on further refining the material. Work on their debut album started in 2019, along with trying out the material in front of a live audience. This was notably picked up by Martin Carlsson, editor of Sweden Rock Magazine (arguably the biggest metal magazine in Sweden at the time) who mentioned them in a major Swedish podcast as “the most underrated Swedish metal band at the moment”.
They have shared stages with Necrophobic, Naglfar, Sinmara, Svartidauði and Voodus, and toured with Mayhem and Mortiis. Their 2022 debut Consummatum Est was mixed by Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio. The new album HOME is faster, more aggressive and forged in the same studio.
The first single "Azrael" from HOME lands on 25 September. The second single "Dawnwaster" is out 16 October. Follow GRAND HARVEST on Spotify to hear it the day it drops. Pre-orders open on Silent Future.
