INGRIMM – a
synonym of harsh but honest medieval metal.
The audience is
neither confronted with bombastic songs of courtly love nor with the tenth
version of mystic spells: thundering drums, rolling bass and uncompromisingly
hard guitar riffs are the foundation for harmonious melodies played with
medieval instruments like bagpipes or hurdy gurdy.
The unusual voice of
the front man, which convinces the fans with its hoarse rocking sound, its
gloomy growls and every now and then with its clear tunes completes the
ensemble of five musicians from Regensburg who pump fresh blood through the
veins of the genre with their energetic performance.
Due to their
unbroken enjoyment of playing and their technically demanding as well as catchy
songs there’s always a wonderful mood in every live performance. The
lyrics are sometimes gloomy and serious, sometimes poetic and belong to the
middle ages as well as to modern times.
Whether you are looking for a
happy drinking song, a stamping mid tempo steam engine, an aggressive
headbanger song or an emotional ballad, the musical range of this young but
promising formation hardly leaves wishes unfulfilled and blows like a new wind
through the outmoded halls of the metal scene.
