Description
Like all bands that combine different forms of metal, Atræ Bilis from Vancouver cannot be easily pigeonholed. Death metal, atmospheric dissonance, technical brutality and much more are thrown into the meat grinder and merge beautifully and disturbingly into their own distinctive blend - like a perfectly functioning, innovative machine.
On the new album "Aumicide", the successor to the 2021 debut "Apexapien", Atræ Bilis have once again significantly expanded the scope of their confusing melange of blazing incantations. Sounding both oppressively direct and smooth and organic, the band pushes boundaries by introducing Cyberdyne slams, mystical inscrutability and unbridled new dimensions to the vocals. As conceptually engaging as it is technically proficient, "Aumicide" tells of a test specimen subjected to belief removal experiments by being forced through hellish simulations in order to separate the self from the multiverse - leading to the emergence of a new era; an egregore produced by absolute impiety.
Produced, produced, mixed and mastered by Cryptopsy's Christian Donaldson, the massive production of "Aumicide" catapults Canadian power to unimagined extremes. The result is one of the most ambitious underground releases of 2024, unwaveringly catapulting the often backwards death metal genre into a far more frightening future.
