Our Take

DODECAHEDRON's latest release, Kwintessens, is an absolute whirlwind of chaos and brilliance. From the moment you press play, you are transported into a world where experimental black metal meets avant-garde psychedelia in a way that is both mesmerising and entirely unsettling.

The album kicks off with "Prelude," a cacophony of dissonant guitars and frenzied drums that sets the tone for what's to come. Tracks like "TETRAHEDRON - The Culling Of The Unwanted From The Earth" and "Interlude" offer moments of respite amidst the sonic onslaught, but even these peaceful interludes are tinged with a sense of unease.

What truly sets Kwintessens apart is its fearless experimentation. The band isn't afraid to push boundaries, whether it's through complex time signatures, unexpected shifts in tone, or the use of unconventional instrumentation. This willingness to take risks pays off in spades, creating a listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding.

At times, Kwintessens can feel overwhelming, like trying to make sense of a dodecahedral puzzle with no clear solution. But for those willing to dive in headfirst, the rewards are worth it. DODECAHEDRON have crafted a truly unique and daring album that demands to be heard, even if it leaves you questioning your sanity in the process. Truly, a quintessential listen for those brave enough to take the plunge.
