DODECAHEDRON - Dodecahedron / Kwintessens · DCD

2CD set from Dutch Black Metal trailblazers DODECAHEDRON! Includes the band's self-titled debut album originally released in 2012 and their sophomore full-length 'Kwintessens' from 2017.

DODECAHEDRON created a buzz in the Black Metal scene well in advance of the release of their self-titled debut album. Under their previous moniker ORDER OF THE SOURCE BELOW the Dutch band already gave a taste of the brilliant dark things to come. DODECAHEDRON execute their atonal and dissonant monstrosities, which are ultimate technical challenges, with a seeming ease that is simply jaw-dropping.

Pure horror lurks in the Lovecraftian dimensions of inverted angles and escaping perspectives as black chaos is assembled into a sonic assault. Broken and torn structures born out of razor-like guitar riffs coagulate into melodies and patterns that constantly mutate and shape shift.
