In its most pure form, black metal is cold, the musical equivalent to winter. It is fitting, then, that Tyakrah have titled their new song “Fährten im Schnee.” Translated into English from German, it reads “tracks in the snow.” On “Fährten im Schnee,” Tyakrah pull from a variety of tempos and influences, going from blast beat-powered segments to slower sections that incorporate dissonant melodies and half-spoken half-sung lyrics.
The variety gives “Fährten im Schnee” the feeling of a complete story told over the course of seven-and-a-half minutes. Tyakrah’s Wintergedanken will be out on October 21 via Slaughterhouse Records.
