American experimental black metal outfit KRALLICE are preparing to return with their new studio album "Scour Order". Set for release on September 18 via Profound Lore Records, the album’s first track, 'Living Useless Ritual', has also been released online.

Formed in Queens, New York in 2007, KRALLICE have become one of the most notable acts in the underground scene with their intense and layered approach that pushes the boundaries of black metal. Featuring Mick Barr, Colin Marston, Nicholas McMaster, and Lev Weinstein, the band has built a unique identity throughout their career by combining technical complexity, atmospheric structures, and an experimental approach to composition.

While the band’s early period was defined by an aggressive and dense black metal character built around a dual-guitar foundation, KRALLICE expanded their sonic palette over the years with electronic textures, synth elements, and different vocal approaches. Through releases such as "Ygg Huur", "Mass Cathexis", and "Demonic Wealth", the band developed a more unpredictable and atmosphere-focused expression that moved beyond the traditional boundaries of extreme metal.

The 2021 album "Demonic Wealth" stood out as a significant turning point in the band’s musical direction. Moving away from a guitar-driven structure and placing synth layers and alternative compositional approaches at the center, the album highlighted KRALLICE’s experimental side more prominently. In their subsequent works, the band underwent another transformation, moving toward a sound that embraced a more atmospheric approach while still maintaining its intense and dark character.

With "Scour Order", KRALLICE return to their classic dual-guitar setup. Colin Marston and Mick Barr once again take on guitar duties, while Nicholas McMaster handles bass and vocals. Featuring continued vocal contributions from Marston, the new album aims to combine the band’s chaotic intensity of the past with broader and darker atmospheric landscapes.

The album also marks the band’s renewed collaboration with Profound Lore Records after a long period of self-released material. The new release will be available in CD, vinyl, cassette, and digital formats.
