SHAAM LAREIN
RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO FOR ‘MURDERER’

STICKA EN KNIV I VÄRLDEN DUE 9th DEC

 

Svart Records unleash a heady brew of nocturnal post-punk atmosphere and avant-garde metal from Swedish band SHAAM LAREIN. The goth-tinged doom rockers share new single ‘Murderer‘, taken from their upcoming album Sticka En Kniv I Världen due 9th December.

Purchase and stream the track, HERE, and watch the video, HERE.

The album’s title, Sticka En Kniv I Världen, literally means to “stick a knife into the world”, and is a ravishing, cut-throat statement of SHAAM LAREIN‘s heavy intent that casts a new shadow of stunning darkness. Formed in 2018, SHAAM LAREIN released their debut album Sculpture in 2020 to raptured underground praise, earning them an instant booking to the prestigious Roskilde Festival and planting them on the radar of cult artists such as Chelsea Wolfe.

SHAAM LAREIN – ‘Murderer’
Now signed to Finland’s Svart RecordsSHAAM LAREIN is soon to be hot on the tongues of the cult grapevine. Named after their auteur-like visionary singer Shaam Lerein, who was brought up on Russian classical art and the cinema of Tarkovsky, composes and visualises their dark materials, cementing Sticka En Kniv I Världen  as an utterly unique take on bat-winged heavy rock.
SHAAM‘s background in the theatrical arts and her Syrian roots shine through in the dramatic structures and middle eastern scales her melodies incorporate, all driven by a powerful female voice that commands and charms in deadly measure. Conducting her band of Swedish vamps like a montage of Siouxsie Sioux and Lisa Gerard meeting in a Murnau horror, SHAAM LAREIN casts a spell both occult and hypnotic. Carrying a haulage of blackened heavy metal doom in it’s gothic post-punk drive, Sticka En Kniv I Världen does what it says on the tin, providing a stab of something unearthly but also hyper-real with songs like ‘I Have No Face’ as a stark eye-meeting stare of emotion.

With a devout appreciation of the mystic powers inherent in heavy music, SHAAM LAREIN will ignite memories of Swedish metal artists such as In Solitude, who swayed towards the eclectic and gothic atmospheres SHAAM‘s music touches on in their later days. With artist friends from back home in Uppsala, Pelle Åhman making the album cover and his brother Gottfrid Åhman, both of In Solitude fame, making four videos for SHAAM LAREIN, the links weave closer, but it is to artists like Chelsea Wolfe, Ruth Rundle and Marissa Nadler that you can imagine fans drawing parallels and opening their heart to the enigmatic sound of Sticka En Kniv I Världen.
SHAAM describes her music as “a touch of aggression mixed with passion”, and Sticka En Kniv I Världen for her is about finding the light through a sea of darkness, “accepting the melancholy and seeing the beauty of what lies underneath our mysterious sound”. For a world of heavy rock hungry for a new wave of something dark and mysterious, SHAAM LAREIN has it all in unparalleled dosage, just waiting to be discovered.
