Austrian black metal outfit Karner have announced their second full-length album, Zebrest:Zintrest, arriving on digipack CD via Folter Records.

Formed in 2014 in Villach, Carinthia, the group previously issued the 2018 demo Knochnkerker, their 2022 full-length debut Untam Liacht tota Stern, and the 2023 EP Berg wocht. Named after the regional term for a charnel house, the band writes and performs all material in their local Southern Austrian dialect.

Translating to “Topmost:Bottommost,” the new record pairs raw second-wave black metal pacing with folkloric passages and clean vocal chants. Across tracks including Zebrest, Die letzte Sun, Thronfoll, and Limbus, the compositions contrast blast beats against slower, melodic sections. Concepts across the release examine mortality, vanitas motifs, and the landscapes of Southern Austria.

Zebrest:Zintrest is scheduled for release on December 17th, 2026, via Folter Records.
