Props to NOiR for the vinyl rip, here is the CD version. Support & BUY!

Not, as you might have guessed from that disturbing artwork, some freakish
black/death/noise hybrid a la Teitanblood, Germany's Noneuclid instead play
an interesting and original form of thrash metal. Made up of side members
of acts as diverse as Triptykon, Dark Fortress, and Obscura, the four
musicians here are well-experienced and deserving of your respect.
Metatheosis is only the band's second release in their ten years of
existence, and those few aware of debut The Crawling Chaos in 2006 (not
including me, sadly) will be delighted. Yet they shouldn't be the only
ones; it's always a pleasure to come across bands that take thrash in new
and exciting directions, and this album is packed full of ideas and
experiments, from a sixteen-minute epic to four-minute stompers.
Where this album stumbles is in the translation of these ideas into great
songs, which isn't always perfect. Take the three-part triptych of Into the
Light, which moves from 70s prog dementia in the first part through weird
groovy meandering in the second, ending with Gojira-esque sci-fi
pulverising in the third. It verges on at the avant-garde at moments;
fiercely obtuse to casual listeners but clearly constructed with skill and
never less than interesting. If you're the type to dismiss music that is
the opposite of easy listening, then this will seem quite pretentious, and
it's hard to justify when the album is already well over an hour in length.
Speaking of weaknesses, let's also quickly gloss over the vocals, too,
which are an awkward mix of Devin Townsend and Mille Petrozza, and never
quite seem to fit the music as they should...
I'd urge you to stick with it, however, despite the negatives, as this is
still one of the most interesting new thrash albums I've heard in a while.
Even when at its most blunt and basic, the likes of To The Zombievores have
an intensity and doomy vigour to their riffs that will be familiar to
Triptykon fans, and Paranoid Alkaloid positively writhes with atmosphere
between the crunchy riffing, even managing an epic acoustic flourish. Cult
of One is probably the best track present, distilling the band's aggressive
and progressive tendencies well, although Buried Forever is a good thrash
epic that is spoilt slightly by a build-up that is just too long. The
aforementioned sixteen-minute closer None So Lucid (no relation to
Cryptopsy!) is harder to defend, with its passages of experimental ambience
and yelling, although it is strangely growing on me.
It's that sort of album, ultimately; listen if you like your metal
challenging and different and you may well find its charm keeps it on your
playlist. It can't help but seem like an experiment rather than a fully-
realised album, however, and should be approached with caution. But please
do try this, I can see a lot of people liking this and rating it higher
than my conservative score below. Listen via the band's bandcamp, link
above, where this album of flawed genius is available on a 'pay what you
like' basis.
