Bio:

North German Metal Band CRAVING was formed as EREBOS in August 2005 by Ivan Chertov, Lukas Winkler, Johannes Paetzholt and Lutz Pohlabeln. The Band changed their name in 2006, released a Demo and started to play live. After some line-up changes, a self-released EP, a sampler contribution and dozens of live concerts, CRAVING went on to record their self-titled debut album and inked a deal with Apostasy Records. „Craving“ was released in January 2012 and was well-acclaimed by both press and fans.The Album was recorded by Lars Schlüter (THE FLAW) in Alpha Sound Studios in Dortmund, Germany and mixed and mastered by Sebastian Levermann (ORDEN OGAN). It featured guest appearances by Chilenian guitar prodigy Sole Genua as well as german Pagan Metal-legend Helge Stang (ARAFEL, ex-EQUILIBRIUM). Soon after release, the Band started to work on their sophomore album. „At Dawn“ was recorded and produced in the band's own studio. Mix and mastering was handled by Christoph Brandes (NECROPHAGIST, FINSTERFORST, DEADBORN, SPHERON).The album features guest appearances by several renowned musicians such as Chris Caffery (TRANS-SIBIREAN ORCHESTRA, ex-SAVATAGE), Agalaz (OBSCURITY) and Niels Löffler (ORDEN OGAN). Following the release in October 2013 via Apostasy Records, CRAVING went on their first European Tour with HELL:ON and SINFUL, making live appearances in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and Belgium. The current line-up consists of the founding member Ivan Chertov as well as Thorsten Flecken, Leonid Rubinstein and Maik Schaffstädter.

Album:

The integration of multiple genres is a rather interesting element. Just when you think you have the album figured out, BAM something from the unknown appears and changes the direction you’re headed. By The Storm, the latest album from extreme German metallers, Craving, incorporates power, classic and extreme metal into one package that delivers unpredictable results. I was stoked to hearing this album, everything was hyped and after listening to the album, I’m not going to say it’s the best but surely it’s not the worst by far. This is a rather unique album, something that definitely tested my ears so if you’re looking to ‘advance’ or should I say add stimulating variety into your library, then by all means go for it. Hell, even the cover of the theme song for Game of Thrones, the group made it their own and was quite the unusual bit. For fans of Equilibrium, Insomnium, Finterforst and related bands By The Storm certainly should be approached in the same temperament as the calm before any storm that’s about to ensue. We already featured them as band of the week about two months ago but we think an album review is in order, besides we love how epic these guys can get.Turning to an epic entrance, you’ll experience an anthem very original and made me jump titled, Fulgur Immortale. Just over a minute in length, it’s right into a thrash and speedy affair in By Storm. A proportionate heavy track, there is an overwhelming amount of everything just thrown at you. Hey, if you love that, then by all means go for it as this is one of the more extreme tracks. Keeping with the shift and variety, the group dives into black metal regress in Penelope’s Prayer. Quite an assault here, there are rapid rhythmic shifts which later pursue towards melody and striking choruses. The intensity shifts as well between fast and slower style play, so brace yourrself for this one.What gives this album an attracting paradigm are the lengthier tracks, specifically ones over eight-minutes in length like Eyes Of Winter. Though it’s length will attract people to flock to it’s doorstep, it’s an average listen. Personally, I found the repetitiveness in the low key not all that exhilirating though I will say the ending moments are shockingly extreme. What really finishes off the listener in an intriguing manner is their cover of the theme for Game of Thrones. Taking it to extreme measures, you won’t find any traces of the original theme here aside from the familiar melodies. I did not know the theme song had lyrics so that made things more interesting in the long run.By The Storm is one of the of the more seamless releases in a while. Rather than conforming to one genre, they do what is more suited to their liking which in this case turned out rather suitably. Whether it’s ripping it up with aggression, taking a darker approach to things or simply being catchy and simplistic, Craving are another example of where things are headed and how the fusion and integration of subgenres is rising more than ever. Nonetheless a rather subtle solid release from another extreme artist. Stay Metal
