Katechon
Man God Giant LP
Nuclear War Now Productions
The word "katechon" refers to the restraining force or entity tethering the Antichrist, and thus maintaining equipoise between existence and annihilation. Sonically and conceptually, Katechon exhibits the control, power, and restraint associated with the theological concept giving rise to the band's name. At this point in the lineage of extreme metal, the lines between the various subgenres are nearly indistinguishably blurred. Bands emerging at this stage are almost certainly influenced by Black, Death, and Thrash metal in relatively equal parts in addition to drawing influence from genres outside the traditional spectrum of metal. This amorphous state, has led many bands to retreat into strict rehashing of formulaic retro approaches. Katechon, however, embraces the entropic merging of stylistic and aesthetic projections from the various branches of the genre and beyond. Under scrutiny since the release of its demo last year, Norway's Katechon now presents its debut full-length recording. "Man, God, Giant" reinforces the sound presented on Katechon's previous recordings*, but features superb production that amplifies the impact of the tracks. Each of the three songs featured on the demo is reworked and incorporated into the album. Katechon's sound is an amalgamation of Black, Death, and Thrash metal, but played with a precision and authenticity that avoids dilution. Instead the result is frenetic and possessed, devoid of theatrics and self-indulgent virtuosity, and features highly proficient and intricate songwriting executed with precision. With philosophically oriented lyrics and adorned with an esoteric and surreal visual aesthetic, "Man, God, Giant" presents a unique vision for the future direction of metal in which an equilibrium must be maintained between rote rehashing of past trends and the indiscriminate collision of clashing styles and sounds. Katechon rests perfectly at this equilibrium point, holding at bay the forces of dissolution.
Tracklist:
1. Endless Funeral 02:55
2. Spring of Man 02:15
3. Black Rain / Ungodly Rituals 05:26
4. Liquid Decadence 03:09
5. Transition 03:12
6. Man, God, Giant 03:20
7. Endgames 04:05
8. Deathly Treasures 02:30
9. Unbeing 02:21

Knelt Rote
Trespass LP
Nuclear War Now Productions
Knelt Rote has emerged over the past few years as something of an anomaly in the underground. While the band's earliest work veered heavily into Grindcore, the band's style has broadened considerably over the past several releases as the band has fleshed out the composition of its tracks and added more elements of Death and Black metal into its body of work. Listening to the band's third full-length, "Trespass," it is clear that Knelt Rote executes these more nuanced strains of extreme metal with a rare sense of precision and focus. What further separates Knelt Rote from its peers is the heavy Harsh Noise influence that the band incorporates into its work adding additional layers of depth and dimension. "Trespass," like its predecessor "Insignificance," is textured and fluid in a way that few extreme metal albums are. The weaving of a palette of Harsh Noise and experimental sounds throughout the recording adds to an overall atmosphere and heightened complexity while the devastating cruelty of the Metal portion of the album is left intact. Lyrically and conceptually, "Trespass" deals with the themes that run throughout the body of work that Knelt Rote has generated thus far: the insignificance of the individual, the crushing momentum of the impending annihilation of our species, and the collapse of the individual mind amid the vast system of societal dissolution. The artwork associated with "Trespass" (executed by band member Gordon Ashworth) further reinforces these concepts. A composite whole that is more than the sum of its parts, "Trespass" is unique without sounding forced and more pertinent and forward-looking than much of the current underground metal output.

Krallice
Diotima CD
Profound Lore Records
It didn't take long for Brooklyn, NY's KRALLICE to get notoriety. Initially formed because of a desired collaboration between notorious avant-garde shredder Mick Barr and technical guitar wizard Colin Marston, for both musicians to explore a more black metal terrain with their music, KRALLICE was originally supposed to be a one-off kind of sporadic project for both musicians to create an album, with vocals (which both musicians weren't even used to), with an actual band, and with the uncertainty that there would be any more albums following the self-titled debut. That thought would quell quickly enough as KRALLICE immediately became a functioning band, playing shows along with their debut garnering critical acclaim all across the board through many prominent media outlets and immediately, KRALLICE would become a one-of-akind act within extreme metal. A band unlike anything the scene has befallen upon. And it wouldn't take long for the inspiration to come full-on, as the creative surge coming from KRALLICE would accelerate as the band continued to write and immediately would conjure material that would make their epic undertaking "Dimensional Bleedthrough" come out only a year after their debut. "Dimensional Bleedthrough" nonetheless would raise even more eyebrows and it came to a point where KRALLICE would eventually become the most recognized musical outlet out of all of Mick Barr and Colin Marston's other musical endeavors. Two musicians who have already had a pedigree in progressive/technical/avant-garde music/metal prior to KRALLICE even forming. And now with KRALLICE's third album "Diotima", the band have undoubtedly released their darkest, heaviest, most-dense, hypnotizing, challenging and accomplished album to date, a turning point album for KRALLICE if there ever was one. The album the band themselves are the most satisfied with and the album (in every aspect possible, from the playing, the performances, and ultimately the production) in which will even more solidify KRALLICE's importance as one of the most prominent and unique extreme metal bands and exports from America today.

Krallice
Self Titled CD
Profound Lore Records
Known as one of the most respected virtuosic guitar wizards today, Mick Barr has displayed his polarizing guitar histrionics in such bizarre outfits as OCRILIM (Hydra Head Records) and ORTHRELM (which have released stuff on Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings), pretty much bending and stretching the rules of modern-day guitar playing and giving a new meaning to progressive guitar playing. Nonetheless, Mick Barr (who has also collaborated with the likes of John Zorn) is quite the guitar playing enigma today. Colin Marston also has quite the pedigree backing his repertoire. With the likes of such bands as BEHOLD… THE ARCTOPUS (Black Market/Metal Blade), DYSRHYTHMIA (Relapse), BYLA etc. along with running his Thousand Caves Studios (in which he recently recorded the recent JARBOE solo album), Marston has proven to be one of the most prolific and recognized musicians in technical/extreme progressive metal (especially since he is known to brand that menacing 12-string Warr Guitar). KRALLICE nonetheless has been something that has been luring within the psyche of Barr (who also portrays the vocal offerings in Krallice) and Marston for quite some time. Pretty much also known as being disciples of true and real black metal, Krallice would inevitably become more of a reality for Barr and Marston; something for them to fulfill their black metal spirit and also come to a realization of where their other calling lies. Also Krallice at the same time provides a vehicle for Barr to actually play and record in an actual band setting of sorts (which is very rare these days) and Marston to play in a band that actually has vocals and lyrical content (which is also very rare these days). With their debut self-titled album, Krallice employ the musical landscape familiar with Barr and Marston's musical repertoire, but this time translate it in a visceral tremolo layered black metal vision that will easily triumph as one of the most recognized black metal albums to be released in 2008. Comprised of six epic time-stretching hymns, the Krallice debut is a vitriolic, hypnotizing elongated black metal pillage that brings such musical aesthetics reminiscent of the likes of early BUZRUM, ULVER'S "Nattens Madrigal" album, GORGOROTH ("Antichrist" in particular), and U.S. black metal legends WEAKLING, all mixed within Barr and Marston's black metal vision; one like no other within the realm of U.S. black metal.
