about

Released by Death Prayer Records. ORDER the album here: deathprayerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fa-ade
ON LP & MC, later on also on CD.

"Façade" explores the area between life and death. The unknown and inexplicable, sometimes things are not what they seem.

From suspended animation caused by disease to the despair of being buried alive.

The struggle between death wish and death fear.

From losing your individuality to sacrificing your soul.

All themes that balance on the thin line between the two worlds.

Is there any difference at all? Or do we attach too much value to our corpus?


****
"So if you don't need your black metal in any dissonant, post-, pre- or in between wrap or you only can listen to it when the production is done so soft that even your granny can listen to it and your favorite albums are still originated in the 90s, you have to check Façade. It won't disappoint you!"
-Metal Bite (9.6/10)

"Het verschil tussen perfecte razernij en atmosferische elementen wordt versterkt door de schreeuwzang die de typische black metal vocalen van repliek lijken te dienen. Een vrij uniek gegeven, dat binnen Asgrauw versterkend werkt."
-Hifi (9.6/10)

"Overall, Façade is ASGRAUW on top form. It’s an album that pushes the boundaries, being progressive without being self-indulgent. It’s easily recognisable as black metal, playing with all the familiar conventions but piling different influences and non-traditional elements in."
-Distorted Sound Mag (9/10)

"Asgrauw laat met deze vijfde langspeler wederom horen dat de Nederlandse blackmetalscene levendiger is dan ooit. Sterker nog, met dit Façade zullen seismografen over de hele wereld in het donkerrood uitslaan om de uitbarsting van pure kwaliteit te kunnen weergeven."
-Zware metalen (88/100)

"Het valt nog altijd niet te ontkennen hoe goed Kaos, Vaal en Batr weten waarmee ze bezig zijn. De riffs zijn precies, het drumwerk strak en zo goed getimed dat het op een paar momenten toch nog net dat beetje intensiteit kan bijleveren en de zang…"
-Addergebroed (83/100)

"Musically, “Façade” is a mature and very good album"
-Metal Temple (8/10)

"Another worthy addition to the Death Prayer Family."
-Musipedia of Metal (7/10)

"These guys really know how to make an aggressive piece of music."
-Abaddon Magazine

"Rather than a simple blasting of Black Metal ferocity, a trait which this album does possess, Asgrauw instead have layered their opus with multiple sounds and undertones,"
-VM Underground

"Verschroeiend, tot er niets meer overblijft dan as… zo klinkt het geluid van de Nederlandse blackmetalband die zijn voorliefde voor de Scandinavische metal uit de jaren 90 niet verbergt, maar toch een eigenzinnige sound binnen de metalscene neerzet."
-Luminous Dash

"The new album ‘Façade’ is the fifth album that they recorded in more than a decade. Due to the pandemic, the band took their time to record the best full-length possible. Frustration has been turned into an album that sounds faster, dirtier and more furious than previous albums. But the melancholic signature sound is present without negating the aggression."
-Metal Jacket Magazine"

"To be clear, there’s definitely an element of madness in the vocalist’s raw, punk-like yells and gritty screeches, and a kind of anguished derangement in the song’s dense rolling waves of tremolo’d riffage and borealis-like synths."
-No Clean Singing

about

Asgrauw image

Asgrauw Groesbeek, Netherlands

The Dutch black metal band Asgrauw is active since 2010. While 'Schijngestalten' showed straight-forward old skool influences. More atmospheric and melancholic vibe, affected by the great 90's Scandinavian hordes like Ulver, Emperor, Dodheimsgard and Darkthrone, is what you observe on 'Krater'. 'Gronspech', which is performed in local dialect, was well received by the press. ... more
