DIPYGUS - Dipygus CD

Given that this is the most developed, idiosyncratic, and fully realised iteration of the Dipygus vision, the rationale behind making this a self-titled album seems fully justified. A manifesto on how to make death metal weird to the point of abrasion, yet still draw clear and coherent connections with the tradition that it builds upon. It is recognisably the latest in a long and proud lineage within the genre, but one that teases, pushes, plugs holes in the boundaries of the form almost to breaking point, resulting in an unsettling, cloying world of phantasms.
