Deathspell Omega - The Synarchy of Molten Bones
2016
Avant-Garde Metal
Norma Evangelium Diabolica
Coming in at a trim 29 minutes, eminent experimental black metal maestros Deathspell Omega’s latest masterpiece of brutality picks up right where they left off in 2012. Synarchy continues the trend that began with 2010’s Paracletus and sees the band moving into an increasingly progressive, frantic, and math rock-oriented direction. While perhaps lacking the epic scope of the band’s earlier work, Synarchy nevertheless presents listeners with another relentless onslaught of complex and technical black metal. Not for the faint of heart.
