AUTARKH - Emergent (Vinyl) (LP)

AUTARKH (Ex-DODECAHEDRON, EXIVIOUS) are a perpetual motion machine. Their debut already
sounded like a message from the future, but their second album truly embodies what it's like to live
in the digital age.
'Emergent' synthesizes modern metal intensity with sinister industrial drones and ethereal, chiming
post-rock - all within one song.
"Strife" finds vocalists Michel Nienhuis and David Luiten locked in a battle with inner demons, their
mental anguish spiked by a thousand megawatts of industrial-sized riffs, before escaping through a
pinhole of light.
Few bands have made something as innovative as this.
