THE REVIEW

A Black Metal album that sounds modern, experimental, and above all, extreme, without falling into the usual genre clichés.

An album that slowly unfolds, requiring the listener to get accustomed to the industrial amount of dissonance, odd times, blast beats, hellish vocals, and frenzied guitars, almost more like a Mathcore album than a TRVE offering.

An indescribable album, that you either love or hate, that has absolutely no half measures, an album not for bored Metalheads but for musically cultured and open-minded people, those who still buy albums after reading a good review, or for an interesting cover, even at the cost of facing a colossal dud.

A dark, heavy, and thoughtful album, almost alive, atmospheric, and brutal at the same time.

An album that sounds absolutely unlike anything you have heard so far, I am sure: very few bands have fascinated me as the Dodecahedron have, at least in recent years.

A potentially boring and tiring album, it must be said, but if this is the price of courage and experimentation (the real kind), I am thrilled to have paid the cost.

This is Kwintessens.

Next Level Black Metal.
