“Equal parts black metal and hallucinogenic ambient sections, this new Kostnatění is essential listening in 2023.”

– Metal Injection

“An amalgam of strange time signatures, microtonality, folk rhythms, and, of course, black metal, resulting in a dizzying type of music unlike anything else I’ve actually ever heard.”

– Invisible Oranges

“An appropriately disturbing yet richly detailed breakthrough.”

– Grizzly Butts

“Extravagantly head-spinning.”

– No Clean Singing

“A specter of discomfort, an abscess that rewards repeated prodding.”

– Toilet ov Hell

 “A clash of cold, harsh dissonance and vibrant, melodic folk influences from around the globe, Úpal is a record that’s striking and impactful.”

– Wonderbox Metal

“You become intoxicated and captivated by the angular, pointed, stabbing, dissonant attacks that come your way. It seems as if you were trapped in an immense fire, you can’t get out.” (8/10)

– Zware Metalen

“A reflection of what a band can accomplish when they set their sights off the beaten path.”

– Metal Temple

“The whole album is an experiment is sound textures.” (8/10)

– Metal-Zenith

Úpal (“heatstroke”) is a story of the human condition as a function of heat. The rise of consciousness in warm-blooded creatures has given rise to impossibly dense, illogical webs of thought that can completely divorce our lived experience from the physical world around us.

Anxiety, fixations, and hallucinations can appear without material basis, setting our overactive neurons on fire. To bring this vivid scene to life, KOSTNATĚNÍ has become both more meditative and more chaotic, introducing influences from sources as varied as African folk and noise rock into its technical black metal basis. Evoking both the searing rays of the desert sun and the melting of one’s sanity, Úpal walks the fine line between burning up and burning out.

Tracklist (titles in Czech and English)

 1. Řemen (The Belt)

 2. Hořím navždy (I Burn Forever)

 3. Rukojmí empatie (Hostage of Empathy)

Úpal was written and recorded from October 2020 to October 2021. Vocals were recorded in late 2021-early 2022. The drums were mixed and recorded in the fall of 2022 at The Weeb Dungeon by Andrew Lee. The album was mastered by Jacob Buczarski.
