Style: Dissonant black metal with a hefty dose of doom thrown in
Primary Emotions/Themes: The same riffs repeated over and over and over again bludgeoning me into the ground with their oppressive weight.
Thoughts: Twenty five minutes, that's all you get with this one. Twenty five minutes to create three songs that are meant to slowly bore their way into my brain, scoop out all of the contents there in and expel them somewhere in to a trash heap.
The songs here are slow, they are heavy, and they don't progress much. They are meant to be static figures that slowly crush the listener with their inevitability. Like a massive monolith slowly falling on me, I can try to escape... but it's too large. No matter where I run I'm going to be consumed by this thing as it slams into the ground.
Antihedron isn't something I pull out very often, I prefer their full length albums for their variety. Sometimes though I do need a slower more focused effort. When that need strikes this is on my short list of EP's to pull out.
