Formed in 2003 in the southern province of Limburg, Netherlands, CARACH ANGREN have built an unshakable reputation for fusing black metal’s ferocity with the grandeur of symphonic arrangements and the drama of storytelling. Their work draws heavily from historical legends, ghost tales, and the macabre, creating immersive worlds within each release.
On ‘The Cult of Kariba’, the band return to the mythos that first defined their identity in 2008’s ‘Lammendam’, expanding it into darker, more elaborate territory. The new EP unfolds as a five-part horror tale rooted in the folklore of Schinveld’s White Lady, now entwined with the sinister figure of Kariba: a poisoner and alleged witch. Through haunting orchestration, blackened aggression, and cinematic scope, the listener witnesses an underground cult’s rituals, a brutal sacrifice, the resurrection of Kariba, and the catastrophic vengeance that follows. Each track builds on the previous, from the ominous opening “A Malevolent Force Stirs” to the apocalyptic closer “Venomous 1666”, where the witch claims the living for her grave.
Expertly produced and conceptually unified, ‘The Cult of Kariba’ is both a return to roots and a bold expansion of CARACH ANGREN’s narrative universe.
For fans of DIMMU BORGIR, KING DIAMOND, CRADLE OF FILTH.
