Karkait (from Hebrew: Bottom Ground) is a guitar/ drums/vocals trio that focuses on extreme forms of musical expression. Broken rhythms scorched sound, screams-cries and whispers-sighs: the trio creates a chaotic world of dissatisfaction, dissonance, uncertainty and existential angst - extreme music that does not fall into sub-genre definitions. Karakit was formed in 2017, and since then has been highly active in the art, metal and experimental scenes in Israel and Europe, collaborating with various artists. The trio draws inspiration from a wide range of music: Morbid Angel, Morton Feldman, This Heat, Naked City, Pig Destroyer, Fugazi, and Current 93, to name a few.
