SOUNDS LIKE: Sweepingly bombastic black/death metal by way of jazz, noise and classical music
BEWILDERING TIMES SEEM to call for bewildering music, but while this shadowy collective are keen to splice and cross-pollinate as many styles and genres as possible, they’re also encouraging listeners to dig for a deeper truth. The band’s debut album – the frankly stunning Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species – spills ambition, ideas and songwriting wizardry from every orifice as it picks apart subjects like corruption, fake news and political demagoguery.
