Description: Founded by Moe and Benedikt Berg back in 2014, Coltaine came into being amidst the depths of the Black Forest in the southern region of Germany. Their sound fuses elements of seventies rock, black metal, and intriguing atmospherics. Vocalist Jules guides the band's atmospheric resonance across a spectrum ranging from melodic harmonies to the most profound of brutal vocals. The latest release from the band is Gorit which showcases strength and dynamism, delivering an impactful listen across many levels. The track is an embodiment of instrumental gorgeousness accompanied by vocals which leave an indelible grip, grabbing the attention with unwavering force.
Benedikt, the band's bassist say about Gorit:
“‘Gorit’ was written by us during a very difficult time. We always played the song last on the ‘Tales of Southern Lands’ tour. However, by now, we also associate positive feelings with the song. Even though the world has still darkened, the many different people we encountered at our concerts in Europe have given us a lot of strength and hope. It is the first song we recorded with Amin Bouzeghaia, who joined Coltaine on the drums during the ‘Summer Death Anthems’ tour in September 2022.”
