DOWNLOAD: Liturgy - Generation
.jpg)
Black-metal is a tough genre to crack. Insulated with a very limited sound palatte, fans expect its biggest bands to stick to the script. Maybe that's why Liturgy is the black-metal for the rest of us. The Brooklyn band isn't beholden to genre signifiers, instead choosing to mix minimalism, polyrhythmic experimentation and the pure physical power of a group running a marathon at every musical turn. "Generation," off the band's recent Thrill Jockey effort Aesthethica, is a great starting point. Liturgy dispenses with genre posing and beats its own instruments into submission. It's loud, powerful and hypnotic music, but very listenable.
