ASTRIAAL – ANATOMY OF THE INFINITE

After a nigh on seven year recording silence ASTRIAAL return with their sophomore album entitled ‘Anatomy of the Infinite’. With this, their follow up album to 2003’s debut full length ‘Renascent Misanthropy’, one will notice a striking difference in production, tone and song structure.

‘Anatomy of the Infinite’ resonates with a more primeval and organic musicality throughout. Featuring eight tracks comprising of haunting and dissonant passages interwoven with moments of epic black metal grandeur overlaid with lyrical themes embellished in Abyssal theology.

ASTRIAAL will also be utilising the bass playing skills of Cameron Grant of Psycroptic infamy within the live arena. Cameron will bring a new ferocity to an ASTRIAAL show with a string of live performances scheduled around Australia for later 2010. The reprisal looms...
