Dedicated to the memory of Trånn Ciekals (1978-2025), mastermind of DJEVEL, and a long-time close friend of the band, KOLDBRANN release the song ‘Elevert Hinsides Tilstand’ on streaming.
Written by Mannevond, with the title by Kvass, ‘Elevert Hinsides Tilstand’ (translated to ‘Elevated Beyond State’) was originally released as a CD-only bonus track on KOLDBRANNs latest album, ‘Ingen Skånsel’ (August 2024).
Fans of Norwegian Black Metal know that if you mention the name KOLDBRANN you are going to get a band that is respectful of its traditional True Norwegian Black Metal roots, but one that goes its own way, eschewing any trends, in order to deliver a varied, dynamic and uncompromising sound. From the raw and fearsome, to the drifting and atmospheric – like ‘Elevert Hinsides Tilstand’.
Here is what KOLDBRANN themselves had to say about it:
To the memory of Trånn. Solitary listening advised. Headphones and darkness recommended.
