DODECAHEDRON announce 2018 festival appearances
Experimental black metal band DODECAHEDRON have announced further live appearances across various festivals in 2018. The band will perform at Brutal Assault Fest in the Czech Republic, Complexity Fest in the Netherlands, and Eurosonic Festival, with more appearances being announced in the months to come. More information about these shows can be found below.
DODECAHEDRON are touring in support of their critically acclaimed new album, 'Kwintessens'. 'Kwintessens' is regarded as one of 2017's best extreme metal albums, placing across year end of lists at Stereogum, Decibel Magazine, Heavy Blog is Heavy, PopMatters, and many more, and has been hailed as "one of the high-water marks for extreme music" (Decibel Magazine), with their music cited as bearing "a cold, mechanical sheen, communicated tonally by a crystalline high-gain production and structurally by a penchant for disorienting rhythmic loops and spacious, resonant grooves. (Think Meshuggah, but way more evil.) On Kwintessens, their second LP, the band manages the feat of incorporating both seething complexity and trippy melodicism into an extremely ambitious suite-style album structure, which repeats key motifs throughout its 41-minute runtime." (Stereogum).
'Kwintessens' is available CD and LP HERE. The album is also available digitally at Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, Google music, and more.
With 'Kwintessens', DODECAHEDRON conjures a unique sound that is as alien as it is terrifying; dragging the listener through a horrific journey of atonal and dissonant moments, jarring tempo changes, and dramatic shifts in composition. 'Kwintessens' sees DODECAHEDRON embrace the shifting from the light to the dark as they masterfully guide their signature style of bizarre, uneasy aggression into passages of cold, threatening calm. 'Kwintessens' marks a new evolution for a band far ahead of their peers, and spares no one in its path of sonic demolition.
'Kwintessens', an ambitious and demented take on extreme metal is streaming now here.
