CRAFT embodies the black metal virtue of raw spiritual energy expressed through violent, ripping guitar-work and unholy rhythms enhanced by demonic vocals. The Swedes have long enjoyed a massive cult status within underground circles, yet also gained strong acclaim and recognition by mainstream metal media and critics.
CRAFT were spawned by guitarist Joakim, who was joined by a friend on drums in late 1994. Lead guitarist John was added to the roster in 1996 but left in 1998 only to return about a year later. A demo entitled Total Eclipse hit the world in 1999, which led to a first record deal. During the recording of their crushing debut Total Soul Rape (2000), the Swedes were reinforced by vocalist Nox. This misanthropic album captured the ear of SHINING's Niklas Kvarforth, who released sophomore opus Terror Propaganda in 2002 on his own label. With their extremely dark music the group gained much acclaim by critics and fans alike. CRAFT continued to build and expand their typical hateful and destructive style by adding Fuck the Universe (2005) and Void (2011) to the list of their albums. Meanwhile bass player Alex had joined and with their completed line-up the band finally became a live entity in September 2014.
With their latest release White Noise and Black Metal, the Swedes return to strength after a long hiatus following the release of previous full-length, Void (2011). The forthcoming album combines the vitriolic virtues of Terror Propaganda (2002) with an updated songwriting that is as mature and intelligent as it is razor-sharp. The fast and furious of extreme metal contrasts with dark and depressive passages with added undertones of black 'n' roll.
