Katie Kruel
The Rise And Fall Of Cannibal Planet
Something edgy, raw and unpolished was added to the roster of incredible Seja bands! Katie Kruel is stoner, sludge, psychedelic, goth... you may call it doom if you are sensitive to it. Not much electronics here, but it corresponds to the label's vision of music and how it should sound. Katie Kruel was founded by Nathalie Houtermans and Hans Dirksen-Smits, who previously worked together in the occult noise band The Bride (Stripped Bare). Completed with the rhytm section of underground band Spasmodique, they debuted with a first album in 2013. Due to the re-establishment of Spasmodique, the rhythm section was replaced. With the latest acquisitions, Martin Kooij (ex-Asrai, Vanity 4) and multi-instrumentalist Jacob van der Linden on drums, a new era has arrived for Katie Kruel. With an even stronger and more penetrating sound.
