Austrian death metal band GrimmING have announced their debut album, Jagatod, which Napalm Records lists for March 26, 2027. The first single, "Pankh," is up with a music video on the label's YouTube channel.

The album

The title translates as "hunter's death," per the label. Jagatod is a concept album written entirely in the band's native dialect, and Napalm Records says it captures "the history and folklore of Styria," the Alpine region the band shares with the label. The record splits into two blocks: older Styrian history first, then individual fates from more recent history and folk culture.

The release lists 11 tracks, closing with the band's first single, "Lindwurm." "Wüdschitz," which introduced the band's Napalm signing in 2025, is also on the record.

"The lyrics are in our first language, Styrian dialect," the band says in the release.

"Pankh"

"Pankh" deals with the witch trials that reached Austria between the 16th and 18th centuries, and centers on a torture chair of that name. "'Pankh' was one of the first songs we wrote for GRIMMING and therefore also for Jagatod," the band says. The track is also on Apple Music with the album pre-order.

Live dates

Per the release, GrimmING play Rocky Mountain Festival in Mönichkirchen on November 21, 2026, Bullhead Festival in Luzern on March 19 and 20, 2027, Metal Frenzy Open Air in Gardelegen from June 9 to 12, 2027, and Party.San Open Air in Schlotheim from August 5 to 7, 2027. The band has already supported Ukrainians 1914 on tour and played Ragnarök festival.

Napalm Records also handles Prong, who landed on KAZI with a new commission. More from the rock desk.

My read

Regional dialect and local history are a strong hook for a first album. If the rest of Jagatod is as specific as "Pankh," GrimmING have a clear identity from the start.
