Deathcode Society - Unlightenment

The pale light that shines in a kingdom of darkness could be just another deadly lure... After a debut album showing the will to re-ignite the flame of a sophisticated and emphatic approach of extreme metal, yet still deeply rooted in the second wave of Scandinavian BM, DEATHCODE SOCIETY are back with Unlightenment, a merciless dive into the aphotic zone, as the cover artwork by Kjell Age Melland shows. Epic and eerie, the seven songs explore the depth of the human mind through a restless and tempestuous music melting together a brutal metal instrumentation with orchestral arrangements, choirs, synths and concrete samples. With lyrics bathed in dark surrealism - two of them being rendering of poems by Andrew Joron and Rene Daumal - Unlightenment is a musical journey through the Other Side and this gloomy maze where psychosis, murderous urges and mystical obsessions endlessly wander.
