Extreme metal band Slechtvalk has released their fifth album “Where Wandering Shadows And Mists Collide” on December 20th. Today the band have checked in with the following update:
After being with the band for almost 17 years, we regretfully have to announce that drummer Grimbold will be leaving Slechtvalk by the end of this year. His decision did not come to us as a surprise, for we were aware that he suffered from motivation problems for quite some time and although he still likes to jam with us, he feels he can no longer commit himself to play more shows and record another album after this year. We had hoped that recording “Where Wandering Shadows and Mists Collide” and the great responses on his superb drumming would made him change his mind, but unfortunately his mind is set.
We’re thankful for the great contribution Grimbold has made to Slechtvalk‘s music during the past 2 decades and we’re glad that he’ll be with us until the end of this year, so we can still play some shows, while we search for a replacement. This means that if you are or know a drummer who would be a great asset to Slechtvalk, we have a vacancy for that position, which we would like to fill before the end of the summer, so we can work on new material and schedule shows for 2018.

Slechtvalk have returned with their fifth album, Where Wandering Shadows and Mists Collide and bring a collection of thundering, dark, and powerful blackened death metal that lives up to the anticipation for this album.
When one thinks of black metal or death metal with heavy black metal influences, bands like Antestor, Crimson Moonlight, and Slechtvalk are some names that should come to mind. Interestingly, all three have had their share of long breaks and then releasing an album that instantly reminds everyone of how good they really are. Antestor took a break from 2005 to 2012 and then released Omen, Crimson Moonlight took their break from 2011 to 2016 and released Divine Darkness, and now we have Slechtvalk on break from 2010 and releasing Where Wandering Shadows and Mists Collide now at the end of 2016. Slechtvalk (Dutch for peregrine falcon) was formed from a solo project of singer/guitarist Shamgar around 1999, with a debut album, Falconry being released in 2000. Following positive reception of Falconry, Shamgar was able to assemble a band and in 2002, released The War that Plagues the Lands. Continue reading »
