Birefringence

Operating entirely as a solo endeavor by Adam Kalmbach, this project continues to stretch black metal into hyper-experimental, microtonal territories. The compositions are staggeringly complex, utilizing custom-fretted guitars to perform dizzying serialist structures. It is a profoundly challenging, atonal listen that bridges the gap between extreme metal and academic avant-garde composition.
