Gives KAECK the sound of a giant wall of utter dark Black Metal.

KAECK was formed in 2014. Members from older Dutch Black Metal bands got together to create dark underground Black Metal. Tapping into the genre's early days, KAECK delivers menacing riffs, haunting keys and agonizing ritualistic vocals. The first album 'Stormkult' was released by Folter Records in 2015. It received great reviews in the underground, and led to a killer gig at Under The Black Sun fest in 2016.
The 2nd album 'Het Zwarte Dictaat' was written during the winter of 2020 by Kruitwagen. Oovenmeesters lyrics were a huge inspiration for the endless barage of dark riffs. During the recordings, the line-up changed and Kruitwagen also took up the keys like he did in the early 90s. Joining KAECK on bass and drums is R. Nillesen. Nillesens bass is overall present in the sound and is guided by raw, old school drums. Additional percussion was recorded using actual human bones. Oovenmeester perfected his raw vocal style. The lyrics invoke the occult and explore the dark corners of the mind and soul. The subjects elaborate on rituals and black magic, bending towards consulting an ancient and evil deity. Kaeck sounds stronger and darker in 2021. The grand mix by Marco Hartgens and finally the mastering perfection of Peter Neuber gives KAECK the sound of a giant wall of utter dark Black Metal.
