Vitriolic Sage-Author Liu Zhenyang seizes the opportunity and stays with us Thecrowd (alias Hoplites) tirelessly on the accelerator pedal: Antibiotics is following Eaten up and Fake already his third album under the Greek banner this year.
What’s more, to get straight to the point: it’s the third great album this year.
The one-man project from China with the language fetish more or less continues the path of the previous two albums stylistically Thecrowd the references even further from Serpent Column above Deathspell Omega towards Vector and beyond that Orange Pazuzu shifts – the hardcore-infected math black metal is further aligned with technically virtuoso disso-thrash, slipping more strongly than ever into psychedelic intermediate worlds, the vocals growl in the hypnotic mix.
After going forward so poisonously and harshly Aἷma starts with imploring intensity without further ado in medias res, the psychotic drama bullies in Counter-penalty not just manic, no, where the madness constantly stimulates panic over the crest of ecstasy, the screaming in the reverb also transcends into a downright hypnotic trance. This is surprisingly immediate in the labyrinthine, aggressively ordered progressive chaos – only the crisper “rocking” is more direct. The tthes ὕcome on aangel or Against Goda thrash wrestling game at speed with hooky headbanging, Theplῖthem puts himself into a nasty kerosene trance around his madly galloping reef cascade.
Although Antibiotics Although it is perhaps less definitive in its positioning than its two predecessors, and indeed might be understood more as a transitional work in an already constant evolution, it is still downright exhilarating when Stunned As a cinematographic chase, the built-up tensions are dynamically released into the blast beat storm in order to spiral further and further up into the red area, Sfattousa Furious discharge dresses in ghostly demon textures or Antὶ godῶn Dillinger-Panic chords with transcendent brain rage are performed with almost stoic tirelessness, and with them the repetitive loops of the Möbius strips Chaos (what groovy carnage!) and the final show Dii cultivated: fantastic!
And completing a triptych that, despite its eclectic foundations, is unparalleled, and not just in 2023.
