Inter Arma – Paradise Gallows CD Online

After already having taken forward-thinking extreme music to unprecedented heights over the course of their short but propulsive career, Richmond s INTER ARMA are back with another opus of epic proportions. Like the band s previous works, the new albumParadise Gallows is direct and foreboding while maintaining a nuanced, artful perspective. INTER ARMA s signature palette of dissonant high-end and abyssal low-end has been augmented with swathes of thick, impressionistic melody that lend Paradise Gallows a truly biblical sense of scale, both lyrically and in terms of the album s sonic content. Harsh and acoustic passages (including the band s first-ever foray into clean vocals) spar with complex rhythmic structures across nine sweeping tracks over 71 minutes of expansive, progressive heaviness. Dense, funereal, and richly evocative, Paradise Gallows is a vibrant blend of doom, post-metal, sludge, avant-garde, black and death metal, and is a singular and powerful new addition to the band s already monumental discography.
