Krallice is an American black metal band with a flair for avant-garde and progressive elements, firmly embedded in the underground metal scene. Formed in 2007 in New York City, the group was initially composed of guitarists Mick Barr and Colin Marston, bassist Nicholas McMaster, and drummer Lev Weinstein. The band quickly garnered attention for their intricate and dissonant take on black metal, espousing an ethos that favored complex song structures and atmospheric layers over traditional rawness.

Krallice has been prolific in their output, consistently delivering dense, experimental, and technically adept albums that challenge the boundaries of black metal. Their self-titled debut album, "Krallice," released in 2008, set a high bar with its intricate musicianship and progressive songwriting. Over the years, they have evolved and expanded their sonic landscape with each new release, as evidenced by highly regarded works like "Diotima" (2011), "Years Past Matter" (2012), and "Ygg Huur" (2015). Their more recent works, including "Crystalline Exhaustion" and "Demonic Wealth," showcase a band that is unafraid to push the envelope, incorporating dense, polyrhythmic arrangements, and a darkly atmospheric approach to melody. Krallice’s commitment to exploring the outer limits of metal music has maintained their status as one of the most innovative and forward-thinking black metal bands of their generation.
