The Siberian black metal outfit come together with Paolo Girardi for a haunting endeavor.
On February 28, 2025, Grima will release their new album, Nightside, via Napalm Records, complete with artwork by the celebrated Paolo Girardi. Like the immersive visual it delivers, Nightside is an atmospheric soundscape providing twists and turns with each passing listen. Skull Gatherers introduces it well through its exquisite blend of beauty and aggression that the stage for a grand new chapter to come.
The band comment on the lead single:
“'Skull Gatherers' tells the story of the Skull Gatherers, particularly devoted servants of GRIMA, who are dedicated to harvesting trophies from the bodies of the deceased and weaving them into an endless collection. Each lyric and chord resonate with the somber silence and chill of the earth, the final resting place for those who have found peace in the Taiga. The song transcends listeners into a realm of nocturnal shadows, rugged nature, and mysticism – the perfect soundtrack for those prepared to confront what lies beyond the boundary between life and death.”
