Personally, I like working with the clean vocals, which fit much better into the overall work than on the previous album." At Dawn ”. Add some folky acoustic interludes and the result is the typical, unmistakable sound of the band with a lot of variety and a lot of energy. For my part, I'm more than excited about the upcoming album ."

" With“ By The Storm ” Craving deliver an impressive work that fits seamlessly into the series of previous releases.

This approach suits the formation well and should further expand the fan base with the new record "
