Krallice

Black Sabbath’s seventh LP and one of their last with the original lineup was called Technical Ecstacy, a thought that echoed through my brain during Krallice‘s incredible set on Monday (5/2) at The Studio at Webster Hall. Brooklyn’s technical black metal crew, supporting their new LP Diotima, decimated the Studio space at the final date of their East Coast tour with Withered who were touring around an appearance at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest in April.

Atlanta’s Withered were similarly impressive on Monday night, though it was their slower, sludgier moments that were the most powerful; their icy precision blast-beats were always well executed and on cue, but the slower riffs were the most resonating on the system.

Ipsissimus opned the show, like they did the previous night in New Haven, CT. The band is preparing to release their Metal Blade debut later this year.

Krallice recently performed a mostly Orphan set at Union Pool in support of Brendan Majewski.
