Larghrana Interview

 1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

The band is Larghrana’s will to express her way of perceiving and understanding the world.

2.You have an ep coming out towards the end of August, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?

The music of the EP takes shape through sounds with tense textures, unattended and introspective spaces, and a balance between the dynamic and the quiet. It takes elements from post-metal, blackened crust and post-black to build that language.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

The lyrics are introspective and, in some cases, use storytelling as a resource. They talk about different ways of experiencing what it means to be human; experiences that Larghrana has lived through the eyes of other people. Through these texts, she explores the equilibrium between light and darkness.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Larghrana'?

Larghrana is the name given by her parents, the name of a being between the human and the divine who’s been dwelling on Earth for many years, learning from everything that surrounds her.

5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the ep cover?

The artwork for the EP is intended to demonstrate the light that is unveiled in the face of absence. It plays with light and portals, inviting one to consider that absence does not necessarily have to be a lack of being, but possibly an experience in itself.

The artwork was designed by Romi Shad, with the exception of Larghrana’s logo, designed by Christophe Szpajdel.

6.Has the band played any live shows or open to the idea?

Some of  the music Larghrana has been working on can be heard this September 4 in Barcelona; Silhouettes of Absence played in full. 

7.So far very little is known about the band, are you planning on expanding your presence?

Larghrana’s intention is to meet people who feel connected to her experiences. Her manifestations will continue taking different shapes.

8.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?

Yes, the band is open to working with a label that shares Larghrana’s vision and where the project can continue developing.

9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of post black metal?

Right now, the band does not have enough perspective to answer this question.

10.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

There’s no specific date yet, though there’s work being done on the full length, with the aim of continuing the band’s expressive intentions. 

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

At Larghrana’s place, there was always music made by her mother; repetitive melodies, almost ritualistic.  Nowadays, she connects with artists like Colin H. van Eeckhout, Mathieu J. Vandekerckhove, Lennart Bossu and Bjorn J. Lebon, Tim De Gieter, Caro Tanghe, Dehn Sora; David Tibet; Jozef van Wissem; Jacob Bannon; Damián Antón Ojeda; Michael Hoggard and Jamie Saint Merat; Hasjarl; Iván Ferro; Neige; Brady Deeprose and Dan Nightingale; Mike Scheidt, among others. 

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

The threshold is now open.

Larghrana/Silhouettes Of Absence/2026 EP review

 

  Larghrana  are  a  band  from  Spain  that  plays  post  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  f  their  self  released  2026  ep  "Silhouettes  Of  Absence"  which  will  be  released  on  August  28th.

  A  very  distorted  sound  starts  off  the  ep  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  angry sounding  black  metal  screams.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  blast beats.

  When  tremolo  picking  is  added  into  the  fast  riffing  they  also give  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling  while  the  recording  also  adds  in a   good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  some  tracks  also  adding  in  a  small  amount  of  clear  singing.

  Most  of  the  tracks  are  also  long  and  epic  in  length  along  with  a  couple  of  songs  also  adding  in  a  small amount  of  clean  playing as  well  as  the  guitar  leads  being  done  in  a  melodic  post  metal  style and  sticks  to  a  very  modern  direction,  whispers,  spoken  words  and  synths  can  also  be  heard  briefly.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  introspective  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Larghrana  are  a  very  decent  sounding  post  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Withered  (Martyr  To  The  Absence of  Mine)"  and  "Cairn  (In  The  Absence  Of  Form,  We  Begin)".  7  out  of  10.
