Making and release
Their fifth full-length album Ygg Huur was released on July 30, 2015, and its release was not announced in advance.[2] According to Barr, he and Marston discussed creating a black metal record without any intention of it sounding good or being released.[3] Lev Weinstein joined on drums, and Nicholas McMaster came on board to play bass and provide additional vocals.[4] Profound Lore put out Krallice's first full-length album, Krallice, in 2008.[1]
For that debut, Barr and Marston handled the bass parts, while McMaster studied those parts and sang additional vocals.[1] The band's fourth LP, Years Past Matter, came out without a label in August 2012.[5]
What the cited sources add
The same interview noted that the band considered making the band more anonymous so people wouldn't come with preconceived notions.[6] A Pitchfork review of the debut album stated that two American precedents exist for Krallice: Weakling and Wolves in the Throne Room.[7] That review also stated that Ygg Huur is about half the length of each of Krallice's four previous records.[8] A Bandcamp Daily article from 2018 described Marston's studio Menegroth as being tucked away on a quiet residential street in Woodhaven, Queens.[9]
A Pitchfork review of Ygg Huur noted that the album's title came from a three-part work by the Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi.[8]
