“Ad Infinitum et Ultra” is the future album from Grimtone and is set for May 23rd, 2024 via War Productions & Void Wanderer Productions in digital and Digipack format & Kandelaber Records in digital and Tape format.
This album sees me going in the opposite direction from all the other albums I’ve written for Grimtone. When I began writing for this album I couldn’t get myself to write yet another album of high speed blast beats. I’d by 2023 written seven black metal albums in 8 years and I needed a change, and the directions was quite obvious: Doom metal with a black metal attitude on the vocals. By Michael Lang (Grimtone)
At first, I was very hesitant, toying with the idea of doing only an ep with three songs. The music differed too much from the previous Grimtone albums I thought, but in the end, I said “fuck it, my band, my music”. It’s always a risk changing the style of a band this radically, but considering how happy I am with how it turned out, it’s a risk worth taking.
Kostas B and I had done the Thymata album so I knew what he was capable of, which was very reassuring. I knew I could make a really good Doom Metal album with him.
The primary goal with this album was to make a slow, gritty, teeth grinding Doom Metal album with a lot of attitude, an angry album, not a sad Doom album. Another goal was to make this album song orientated, as in it had to have proper choruses and song structure, not just riffs upon riffs leading nowhere. A bit of melody never hurts.
Apart from a certain band from Birmingham being a big influence, I found a lot inspiration from classical music this time. It influenced me in setting a mood for every song, and what kind of emotional motive I had for each song. When to hold back and when to floor it so to speak. This album is by far the most dynamic one I’ve ever made. By Michael Lang (Grimtone)
