The band have upped both the dystopic prog-Death quotient and their sense of experimentation moving with formidable mechanised poise and a surrealist's sense of dread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLYCHGATE layer fusion riffs leads and rhythms into skewed melodic entanglements which erupt into strident bludgeon - balefully contrasted with spacious keyboard-led classical\/jazz-inflected passages rich with tension-heavy dynamics. The players bursting forth in a rush of devastatingly claustrophobic vocals and finely-honed avant-Black Metal mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterweaving literary philosophical and cinematic influences \"Precipice\" is conceptually based on E. M. Forster's \"The Machine Stops\" (1909) - a story of humanity's underground existence and total dependence on a god-like machine - and also draws from Plato's 'allegory of the cave' H. G. Wells' \"A Story of the Days to Come\" and T. S. Eliot's \"The Waste Land\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003e01 Introduction - The Sleeper Awakes 02:32\u003cbr\u003e02 Mausoleum of Steel 04:41\u003cbr\u003e03 Renunciation 05:01\u003cbr\u003e04 The Meeting of Orion and Scorpio 04:31\u003cbr\u003e05 Hive of Parasites 09:58\u003cbr\u003e06 Death's Twilight Kingdom 07:21\u003cbr\u003e07 Terror Silence 04:07\u003cbr\u003e08 Anagnorisis 06:35\u003cbr\u003e09 Pangaea 03:01\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lychgate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62526499553610,"sku":"652733210722","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/2549\/5626\/files\/652733210722_1506421b-0e7f-431d-b1f6-65135aee6689.jpg?v=1782360718","url":"https:\/\/goldenspiraluk.com\/products\/precipice-lp-1","provider":"Golden Spiral Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
