70’s inspired, heavy psych-rock act KANT presents new video single of upcoming album Paranoia Pilgrimage!
September 27, 2024 will see the release of Paranoia Pilgrimage– the second album by heavy psychedelic rock band KANT from Aschaffenburg, Germany – via Sound Of Liberation Records.
Following a previously-released, first excerpt of their upcoming Paranoia Pilgrimage, the heavily groove-ladden track “Lord Of The Flies”, today, KANT are premiering a music video for their latest single“Baba Yaga“! The song is now streaming via all digital services at: https://orcd.co/solpresave
Guitarist and singer Marius Seidel reveals: “Baba Yaga is the second song of the album and single, inspired by the slavic fairytale. I once stumbled upon this story by listening to the interpretation of “Pictures Of An Exhibition” by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. After hearing the two songs “The Hut” and “The Curse Of Baba Yaga”, I took a dive into the lore of this pretty scary fairytale. The musical result after all is a song, where the overall construction is more of a story telling approach, than a linear verse- chorus-structure.”
On Paranoia Pilgrimage, KANT present a departure from their previous sound. Recorded live in a small studio in the woods of Germany’s Black Forest, KANT remain true to their 70’s inspired approach to music making. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Black Sabbath, Witchcraft, and Horisont, the album transports the listener into a mystical realm teeming with occultism, prophecy, and mystical beings.
The sound has taken on a darker, heavier and more sinister tone compared to their debut release “When The Strangers Come To Town”. The symbiotic guitar interplay between Marius Seidel and Nicolas Jordan remains intact, supported by the melodic and rhythmic bass foundation of Elena Strähle. Drummer Bryan Göbel, who joined the band in 2022, brings both jazz-inflected accents and raw power to the rhythm section. All of this is complemented by the energetic and raw vocals of Marius Seidel, a departure from his style on the first album.
