The musical style of Karg is a furious, hysteric mixture of atmospheric black metal and a huge load of post-rock, with influences also from grunge, shoegaze and post punk. The influences from other genres than black metal evolved more and more within the last few years but were there in abridged form since day one.

Textual Karg always was about the more melancholic side of life, such as broken relationships, lost love, estrangement, drug abuse, loss or suicide thoughts and depression. In contrast to many other bands Kargs lyrics are as equal important than there music and are written in the dialect written near the Tennen Mountains, where frontman Michael J.J. Kogler grew up.

“This album is a very special one to me and the band, as it is the first Karg album we wrote and recorded as a collective, which was a great and exciting experience for all of us.” says Kogler.
