Double CD with two albums.

Background information about 'Dodecahedron / Kwintessens'

What happens when mathematical precision meets pure sonic terror? Dodecahedron delivers the answer with this essential 2CD collection that bundles their groundbreaking self-titled debut with the equally devastating "Kwintessens". These Dutch black metal visionaries didn't just emerge from the underground – they tore through it like a geometric nightmare, creating sounds that defy conventional understanding while maintaining an inexplicable sense of twisted beauty.

The self-titled debut from 2012 established Dodecahedron as masters of atonal chaos, weaving Lovecraftian horror into razor-sharp compositions that challenge every preconception about extreme music. Tracks like "Allfather" and the trilogy "View From Hverfell" showcase their ability to transform mathematical concepts into pure emotional devastation. Then came "Kwintessens" in 2017, pushing their geometric obsessions even further with pieces named after polyhedra – each track a calculated assault on sanity that somehow coheres into brilliant, terrifying art. The way they construct melodies from seemingly impossible angles creates an experience that's both intellectually stimulating and viscerally punishing.
