release notes:
The electrifying 9th full-length from Czech avant-Black Metal voyagers
INFERNO distils the bleak grandeur of 2021's "Paradeigma" into another
disturbed and profound psychological trip, where the listener takes the
role of 'silent witness to the chaos within our cosmos'.
"The Anthropic Sophisms" is layered, hypnotic and compelling extreme
music that breathes anew in nighttime hours. These are strange, viscous
dimensions where deep space Black Metal, Industrial brutalism, malevolent
motorik rhythms, crackling electronics and obscure vocals collide in an
ecstatic, perma-climatic trance without hope of resolution or a semblance
of light.
Subliminal horrors from voices, synths and textures creep and envelop.
Riffs stretch, repeat, and intertwine, creating fields of interference
with each line acting as a pressure wave. There is little traditional
harmony; the guitars generating pulsating tension and dramatic strata
that merge with bass and drums into mesmeric structures, given clarity
and force via a weighty mix by Tim De Gieter (AMENRA, TREHA SEKTORI) and
master by James Plotkin (KHANATE, THOU).
Conceptually "The Anthropic Sophisms" rejects a human-centered,
anthropocentric perspective. As the band states:
"The human being is neither measure nor destination here, only a witness.
An infinitesimal point within a field of forces that surpass it. The
senses fail, reason loses its footing, and yet something is happening.
Something unnameable, existing beyond language and beyond control. This
is not music that tells a story or offers consolation in a refrain. It is
a movement unfolding regardless of expectation."
Not to be confused with other bands with same name.
