Album Notes Leviathan's discordant take on death metal is distinctive among its contemporaries. In a genre increasingly marked by tight-knit band chemistry, streamlined riffs, and pristine production, Leviathan takes a decidedly lo-fi approach to headbanging. LEVIATHAN/XASTHUR is suffused with ambient swirls of fierce, distorted guitar, clattering washes of cymbals and drums, and howls of throaty vocals, resulting in a sound that suggests Sonic Youth crossed with Cannibal Corpse. Titles like "The Eerie Bliss and Solitude (Of Torture)" and "Conjuration of Terror" indicate that Leviathan still traffics in everything dark and demonic, but the sound is something uniquely appealing. | |||||||||||||
