For the new record, Karg mastermind J.J. (vocalist of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY) recruited a flood of notable musicians as guests on the record, including members from LUNAR AURORA, DOWNFALL OF GAIA, ELLENDE, ANCST, AMER, FUT and INSTANT KARMA to participate with guest vocals on the album.
Dornenvögel is the project's most diverse album written to date. It's a steady up and down of negative and melancholic feelings and short glimpses of hope, recited in a quite hysteric way. Every song is a separate, private Dornenvogel (which is a metaphor in this connection) to KARG, in which every song is a different chapter and collection of dramas, one followed by the other.
KARG was founded back in the summer of 2006 as a one-man project. Between 2010 and 2014 KARG was fully formed as a band to play gigs, formally in Germany, Austria and Central Europe. In the years leading to 2018, KARG was a one-man project and released two previous albums. KARG's 6th studio album Dornenvögel marks the project's rebirth as a live band for a few special dates in 2018 and 2019.
The musical style of KARG is a furious, hysteric mixture of atmospheric black metal and post-rock, with influences also from grunge, shoegaze and post-punk. Lyrically, KARG was always about the more melancholic side of life, such as broken relationships, lost love, estrangement, drug abuse, loss or suicidal thoughts and depression. In contrast to many other bands Karg's lyrics are as equally important as its music.
