Black metal outfit Draugr unleashes new single 'Surturs Zorn' • GRIMM Gent

Last night, Immortal Frost Production introduced first single “Surturs Zorn” by the Austrian Black Metal band Draugr. Taken from their upcoming 2^nd full length album “Ahnenfeuer – Ginnungagap Chaos Pt. I”, which will be released on 25th of September 2026 on CD, Vinyl & Digital format.

Draugr, a frequently new band hailing from the Carinthia area in Austria delivers forth their second full length album “Ahnenfeuer – Ginnungagap Chaos Pt. I”.

On this record Draugr shows a more mature side as their musicianship has drastically evolved compared to their debut album “Unter Yggdrasils Schatten”, which was released 2 years ago. The production of the album is clear, yet heavy and the overall sound is super professional which is exactly what this type of music needs.

The music itself can be compared to second wave black metal, old school riffing, furious blasting, pumping basslines and harsh shrieking vocals although the album. The guitars deliver some nice melodic parts, to beautiful tremolo picking and back to super-fast classic chord riffing, where the drums come in as a natural support to the guitars if not being the leading instrument that takes this album to a higher level with all the extra elements that are hearable in the background. The bass guitars riffs its way through the album with fury and absolute aggressiveness which gives the album that heavy low sound to bang your heads too. And the vocals as said above are harsh, shrieking and above all well mixed into the music which makes the album very pleasant to listen too.

Draugr definitely managed to deliver a fantastic beast of a second album that all fans of Classic Black Metal to Pagan Black Metal will be able to enjoy from start til end. Pure Black Metal Madness is what you can expect on this record! Hail Loki.
