It seems to be debatable at the moment, if Schrat from Germany is still active or not as the news was published that main man Gråin is both able and unable to continue his anti-human Black Metal as he is in prison. On the other hand Gråin also mentioned “rebirth”…time will tell.
Fast and aggressive Black Metal is the essence of Schrat, but that is something common when Folter Records is the label who has released it. As said, it is fast and aggressive, but it also has hints of obscure rawness and dark melodies in the vein of Marduk and Urgehal.
At the end this will not be an album that will yell “surprise!” at you, but “Seelenfresser” is a pleasant listen nevertheless. (Ricardo)
