Thantifaxath’s second full-length Hive Mind Narcosis is not only a giant leap for the band, but also for contemporary extreme metal as a whole. From its very first notes, there is a feeling of transcendence beyond genre… beyond its scene and peers.
Previously dubbed avant-garde black metal, Thantifaxath surpasses such mundane press-tags, instead conjuring forth an expansive, discordant, and mind-altering brew that’s never just black, thrash, death, or doom metal psychedelia.
Recorded entirely in-house by the band, Thantifaxath have tailored their sound to crushing perfection – a production so immense the listener daren’t move until the bitter end.
Just like its music, Hive Mind Narcosis is a lyrical blend of two mutually conflicting ideals: “The album has two levels working in dichotomy with one another. On one level there is a strong resistance to something, and on the other there is a total acceptance of that same thing. Beyond that, we leave it open to your interpretation.”
In every truly pioneering band’s career there is a moment when they set themselves apart from the pack and become an island. For Thantifaxath, Hive Mind Narcosis is that album.
This unholy Canadian grail of contemporary black metal is due out via Dark Descent Records.
This exclusive vinyl variant is on “Oxblood” and limited to only 100 copies, so order yours today!
