Two years after the release of 'Depressionland', a powerful full - length debut that blended blackened metal, djent, and panoramic post - rock ambience, Berlin - based heavy collective BIPOLAR ARCHITECTURE is set to unleash 'Metaphysicize'. This is the next brutal step in their genre - defying sound.
Bipolar Architecture emerged in 2020 from the ashes of the death metal group Heretic Soul. They retained the nihilistic fury of their past and added the forward - thinking intensity of djent and hardcore, along with the atmospheric energy of post - rock and shoegaze. Their first EP, 'The Tragic Protagonist', quickly caught people's attention.
This international four - piece, from Istanbul and Berlin, uses their experience in heavy music to push the boundaries of contemporary metal. By combining classic death - metal aggression with advanced production techniques, they've created a sound that's raw, frenzied, and extreme, yet also nuanced and refined.
On 'Depressionland' in 2022, frontman Sarp Keski's banshee howl soared over Fatih Kanık's blast beats, and the delay - soaked guitar work of Marcus Sander and Enes Akovalı unified their diverse influences. If 'Depressionland' distilled their signature sound, 2024's 'Metaphysicize' is like alchemical gold. It delves deeper into the human condition using the themes of 'Depressionland'. Tracks like 'Immor(t)al' show musical maturity, while 'Disillusioned' has the full - throttle indignation of their blackened metal roots. Notably, 'Metaphysicize' features lyrics in Keski's native Turkish, and 'Kaygi' perfectly balances culture, genre, calm, and chaos.
The complexity of 'Metaphysicize' is both daunting and empowering. By avoiding genre labels, Bipolar Architecture has limitless potential, making extreme music more exciting without boundaries.
To enjoy this album, simply play it on your preferred music - playing device. Whether it's your phone, computer, or a high - end stereo system, the album will bring you an immersive experience.
