The Black Metal band
DRUDENSANG was founded in 2013 by Krámpn
together with Skilnir and Blodspan and is based in the Bavarian Forest, on the
border to Austria and the Czech Republic. It emerged from the band Ravnsvart,
which was founded in 2009.
The name
DRUDENSANG is made up of the words
“Druden”, a witch creature from the Bavarian Forest, a kind of night alb, and
“Sang”, an old German curse, today used as “song”.
Krámpn is very much
rooted in the Krampus and Percht tradition and practices the customs handed
down from generation to generation with his heart and soul. It is a central
aspect of his life. DRUDENSANG is his
personal life's work, in which he reflects these traditions with the associated
legends, figures and myths.
In 2013, the first demo
"Rehearsal 1 – Dunkle Tradition" was released. Further releases
(demos, live albums, EPs and splits) followed in short intervals. (See
"Releases".) Musically,
DRUDENSANG is clearly located in the 2nd
wave of Black Metal. The first demos were still characterised by a very raw
style, which over the years was refined further and further into the sound that
is currently typical for Drudensang: atmospheric Black Metal with an old school
touch as the perfect soundtrack to the wild doings of Krampen and Perchten
during the Rauhnächten.
DRUDENSANG has been performing regularly since 2015.
These performances are celebrated with ritualistic intensity and in the spirit
of the traditional, wild Krampus runs.
