Album Description
Available in:
"Renaissance in Extremis" is the sixth full length studio album by English blackened death metal band Akercocke, released August 25th, 2017 through Peaceville Records.
Mixed by legendary studio guru Neil Kernon & mastered in NYC by Alan Douches at West West Side Music., Renaissance In Extremis is nothing short of a new dawn for these most eccentric of extremists.
User Album Review
Akercocke picks up where they left off with ‘Antichrist’ – flopping about in the slime of sex and death, the pungence of rotten flesh and the fragrance of orgasmic fluids. Akercocke have always been capricious in nature when it comes to their display of extremity, without abandoning the overarching atmosphere that it creates, and the same can be seen with the new album. Hauntingly beautiful, clean sections shine amidst the blackness of the aggressive death metal. The frequent melodic guitar solos act as the antithesis to the atonal guitar work. Thematically, there is a complete departure from Satanism. The lyrics deal mostly with loss and despair, emptiness and helplessness, but on occasions, lyrics like “Achieve your ideal, become all you can be” and “Don’t give up the fight, From darkness comes light” brings to light an uplifting tone.
Bands like Akercocke don’t falter much. ‘Renaissance in Extremis’ has abundant content in its avant-garde and progressive shapes of death metal. For the fans of Akercocke, the album will be seen as another successful endeavour and they will gobble it up like all their previous releases. I would say that most of their experiments paid off. Here’s to more releases and experiments from this talented bunch.
