Akercocke- Renaissance In Extremis

Label: Peaceville Released 2017 A comprehensive reinvention and expansion of the band’s multifarious sound, ‘Renaissance In Extremis’ delivers euphoric force and mind-boggling weirdness. There are scything thrash and death metal riffs in abundance, plus warped but elegant melodies and clouds of ugly dissonance; moments of unsettling calm and quiet. ‘Renaissance In Extremis’ is a bold, bullish and belligerent statement of creative intent: metal’s dark spirit reborn in an explosion of bright ideas and inspirational fury.  Track listing: Disappear Unbound By Sin Insentience First To Leave The Funeral Familiar Ghosts A Final Glance Back Before Departing One Chapter Ends For Another To Begin  Inner Sanctum A Particularly Cold September
