German post-metal crew THRÄNENKIND have posted the song “Monument,” which comes off their forthcoming debut full-length, The Elk, which will be released in August via Lifeforce Records. The song can be streamed below.
THRÄNENKIND’s music is a mixture of crustcore, post rock, post black metal and hardcore punk. The earlier recordings had more black metal and shoegaze influences, while the The Elk album contains a lot more crust and hardcore punk and offers also five completely instrumental post rock songs. The focus lies on creating atmosphere and melancholy.
THRÄNENKIND was founded in 2007 by Nathanael and Pesten. 2008 the first demo-cd was recorded, which got mainly positive reviews. 2009 the first live show was played. In 2010 the demo CD was re-released as an EP and shortly afterwards the split-CD with post black metal/post rock band Heretoir followed.
