It's been a long and brutal decade waiting for a new album from Tāmaki Makaurau's giants of heavy, dynamic, (mostly) instrumental rawk, but as the sun rose today, we did indeed get a brand new full-length studio album from the mighty Kerretta. Shrouded behind the mystery of another brilliantly designed album cover, we can reveal Angelm is another airtight delivery from the trio, with enough blistering outbursts, muscular bass, and surprise experiments to keep you on your toes from start to finish. Welcome back. Vinyl is set to arrive next week! - Flying Out
There is no rock without it first being in its melted state. And after 10 years, Kerretta's unique mark of Molten Core is back to brand our ears and minds as they are set to release their fourth studio album - 'Angelm'.
Conceived as a proto-astral collision of Pangea and tectonic plates, Angelm carves into stone 8 tracks to reflect a summary of continents. A veritable Caribbean beach ear-bath to a vertiginous chill of Sagarmatha instrumental heaviness awaits.
From Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Kerretta have been described as the mutant offspring formed by a coalescence of Pink Floyd, Kyuss and Kraftwerk.
Compared to the likes of Russian Circles, Tool, So I Watch You From Afar, and driving a Ferrari on magic mushrooms, the three-piece have been nominated for the New Zealand Taite Prize (equivalent to the Mercury Award), have shared stages with the likes of The Breeders, Explosions In The Sky, Trail of Dead, Mantar, Yob, Pallbearer and Mono.
