Dutch Black Metal entity Kjeld and former vocalist Skier posted the following statement:
“Because I want to have space to be able to concentrate on plans I have for the future, I have decided to step down as the frontman of Kjeld. I wish Kjeld al the best!”
The rest of us want to thank Skier for his all his dedication and energy within Kjeld for the last twelve years. We wish you all the best for the future!
We would like to announce that the original vocalist of Kjeld, Asega (who’s also active in Lugubre, Ûngrûn), has returned to the fold. Together with him we are working on a third full-length and preparing for future live activities.
Last year we have described Kjeld’s last effort ‘Ôfstân’ as followed: “Vocalist Skier also sounds just a bit more intense than on the previous recordings, he seems to be using his range in a freer and more confident way, where in addition to the fairly standard Black Metal rasp there is also room for some dark growls and even some semi-clean epics…The comparison with Scandinavian bands still holds true, but Kjeld thus increasingly grants itself its own musical identity. It still contains the melody of the Norwegian bands from the Second Wave Black of Black Metal, think of the early records of such bands as Gehenna and Dimmu Borgir, but pieces of Pagan Metal and Folk are also expertly added to its musical palette.”
