Lithuanian extreme metallers Erdve courageously defy standard music categories and fully embrace an experimental often unpredictable approach on the elaborate brand new album “Epigrama”.
“Nyra” reveals a gelid melancholic spirit and spontaneously combines glowing melodic passages and vitriolic rhythmic blasts that symbolize the belligerent extreme side of the band’s musical pathway.
The impactful rhythmic momentum of “Ydos” showcases the dominant role of menacing metalcore influences as ferocious drums acquire extra speed and guitars deliver galloping obscure riffs.
The dystopian atmosphere of “Trukmė” clearly embodies Erdve’s futuristic vision focusing on massive dismal guitar progressions with a tasteful modern sound, uneasy melodies and violent screams.
Listening to “Svertas” we enter a darkened dimension conveying tormented feelings as murky atmospheric waves surround the oppressive rhythmic patterns fueled by the unstoppable crusty riffage.
“Skleistis” brings a somber closure highlighting the lugubrious presence of a dramatic melodic flow through the savage rhythmic framework.
Throughout the meticulously structured enigmatic soundscapes of “Epigrama” Erdve can certainly challenge the audience successfully reaching a higher level of experimentation and raw expression.
