Danish Black Heavy Metal outfit SLAEGT (a.k.a. Slægt, meaning “lineage” / “heritage” in Danish language and pronounced /slɛɡt/) have launched a second single off their upcoming, 4^th studio album “Goddess”, to be released worldwide on March 18^th, 2022. Check out “ Kiss from a Knife” HERE.

Slaegt comments:

 “’Kiss From a Knife’ is in some ways the most aggressive and chaotic song we have written to date. But, as the vigilant ones know, a certain order can arise from chaos, if the powers within are harnessed carefully and with the right intent. The lyrics to the song deal with the union, that can occur in interactions, that initially look separating rather than uniting. This might seem like a paradox, but sometimes, the greatest truths in life are found in the biggest contradictions.”

“Goddess” will be available as limited edition CD-Digipak in its first pressing, as Gatefold LP on 180g vinyl with Poster and also as Digital Album. The vinyl edition is available in the following variants and limitations: Gatefold black LP & Poster: Unlimited, Gatefold red LP & Poster: 300x via CM Distro & Webshop, Gatefold silver LP & Poster: 300x via Ván Records, Gatefold clear LP & Poster: 300x via EMP & Nuclear Blast , Gatefold golden LP & Poster: 300x via  Slaegt on tour.

Slaegt comments:

“We are extremely excited and proud to be able to announce our new full-length album “Goddess”! Consisting of six tracks with a total run-time of 40 minutes this is without a doubt our most accomplished work to date. We have been more detailed and thorough than ever in regards to composition, lyrics, and production while still maintaining darkness and high energy in the execution. We have been as experimental as ever and have tried to push ourselves and our music to the limit in every single way regarding the creation of this album. Words cannot describe how much we are looking forward to sharing this collection of songs with all our listeners.”

Starting out as a one-man Black Metal project in 2011, the band has grown into a four-piece and developed a signature sound of their own, combining well-known styles with influences from beyond the sphere of hard rock and heavy metal. Slaegt comment: “Amalgamation leads to the redefinition of genres. At our core, we draw from a wide range of genres, styles, and time periods and we combine them in a way that speaks to us deeply. We have many shades on our palette, both light and dark. These are, as in life, interwoven and become ever-changing constants.” With three albums and several EP’s to their name so far as well as over 150 concerts under their belt, including three European tours and appearances at major festivals like Copenhell, Roadburn, Party.San and Roskilde, Slaegt have built a strong following and achieved critical acclaim both at home and internationally.
