KONKHRA: In Writing Mode

March 20, 2010

Danish extreme metallers KONKHRA have issued the following update:

"We are working on new songs. We started writing around February 1 and we already have 10 new songs/ideas, so it should be no problem to record sometime during the summer.

"The new shit is simpler in some ways, or maybe we just got more fine-tuned between us so the stuff seems more fluent and the lyrical content is almost channeled immediately into the song structure. Maybe last year's visits to places like Mont Segur, Rennes Le Chateau, or Munich inspired this next release, or maybe the initiation process between The Masters Column and The Apprentices Column worked wonders fore there seems to be a natural flow of essence as if all we are and ever will be is predestined or at least preordained.

"Art is still but an Imitation of Life, lest we forget we are standing on the shoulders of Giants, or humbly trek through reptile footprints in our evolutionary path.

"A selection of new working song titles include:

* Babylon
* Thoth
* I Am Ra (The Law Of One)
* Divine Wind
* Suffer The Race
* Doctrines Of Death
* Alpha And The Omega

"In other news, we have been approached about making a video for 'Breathe The Fear' [from 2008's 'Nothing Is Sacred']. This might be going down the spring. We will keep you posted."

KONKHRA's sixth album, "Nothing Is Sacred", was released in December 2008 in Denmark and in February 2009 in the rest of the world via Target Distribution. The CD featured a guest appearance by James Murphy (TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY) on lead guitar. Murphy was however, not able to tour, so the band joined forces with 21-year-old guitarist Michael Skovbakke, who is said to be capable of delivering and interpreting leads from the entire KONKHRA career.

"Nothing Is Sacred" was released in a limited edition including a bonus CD featuring the remastered demos "The Vicious Circle" and "Malgrowth", in addition to an extra booklet with the original artwork from the demos. When the demos were released on cassette in 1990 and 1991, respectively, they sold 2,000 copies each.

"Religion is a Whore", the latest video from KONKHRA (from 2008's "Nothing Is Sacred"),can be viewed below (produced by Anders Koch).
