Loving this new video from Brooklyn experimental black metal four-piece Liturgy -- crosses, triangles, and all. Zev Deans' strobing, split-screen montages of stained glass and grim reaper hoods feel completely at one with Liturgy's earsplitting scream-scapes, which strike a dizzying balance between minimalism and sensory overload, elation and rock-bottom despair. This video should probably come with an epilepsy disclaimer, just as Aesthetica, Liturgy's new LP on Thrill Jockey, could easily be flagged for moments of extreme violence-- of the psycho-spiritual kind. --Emilie Friedlander, Altered Zones
AESTHETHICA is out May 10th on CD and 2xLP formats via Thrill Jockey. Pre-order it here
