Krampusnacht - Krampusnacht
The outsider children/spawn of dungeon synth have given birth to yet another ugly duckling. I was searching for the likes of Christmas synth, and some good fellow showed me this!... Doesn't look pleasant and nice does it?... A band called Krampusnacht with a horrifying monster with pointy teeth on the cover?!... What sort of sick Christmas joke is that?!...Well, I can reveal that Krampus is an age-old figure from Austrian folklore. He is a good "friend/companion" to Saint Nicholas. The thing is, Santa takes care of the good children while Krampus... Takes care of the bad children! *gulp*... So what the heck does he do with the children?!. Well... For starters, he kidnaps them by shoving them down his sack/bag, he then leaves that sack hanging on a branch on the highest tree in the forest. Then the 21´st of December, he will then take down the sacks and consume those unfortunate kids therein. MERRY CHRISTMAS!.
And then we have the band/act Krampusnacht, which have made this interesting Christmas themed release about the Krampus (and the cover art as well). There´s no info about this act anywhere, not on Discogs either. BUT! the info on Bandcamp reveals that they hail from GREENLAND!!.... All of a sudden it all just got a bit scarier, a sick publicity stunt joke in the world of dungeon synth? The thing is that the release is quite decent, good and honest. Whoever made this have had the idea of combining classic primitive dungeon synth with horror aesthetics, and then stuffing it like a Christmas turkey. Classic Christmas themes being mutated into the taste of deer old Krampus. And there you have it, no bull-shit. A pure and morbid Christmas soundtrack. As you all can see, it´s out on a CD. Would LOVE to have it laying right under the Christmas tree this year (I´ll ask Santa!).
