Infestus — Entzweiung Review

As soon the listener presses the button, the opening piece, Echoes, greets the listener with a brief, eerie piano and atmosphere, laying the groundwork for the expedition ahead.

One embarks on their journey with the second piece, Dead Inside, a raw and aggressive track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The remaining five pieces embark on a journey, unveiling two distinct, almost paradoxical echoes in Andras’ creations: a seething rage allied with the very essence of darkness and a contemplative side that interlaces fragile moods with explosive bursts of anguish. Each track offers a unique perspective on the album’s themes and musical elements, creating a rich and diverse listening experience.

Entzweiung is an alluring, forbidden fruit of art that delves into the human psyche’s dichotomy, exploring themes of inner turmoil, existential dread, and the struggle for self-identity, drawing you into its mesmerizing depths, where any flicker of light fades away.

Entzweiung is a captivating blend of experimental, raw, and depressive elements, interwoven with poetic and aggressive fury and introspective darkness that permeates every track.

In Dead Inside, the raw aggression is palpable, while in Echoes, the introspective darkness takes centre stage. The music’s emotional depth is so profound that it can’t help but stir something within the listener, taking them on a transformative journey of self-reflection and understanding. This emotional journey, skilfully crafted by the artist, connects the listener to the music, making it a powerful and unforgettable experience.

Entzweiung‘s outstanding production value is a testament to Infestus‘ unwavering dedication to his craft and meticulous attention to detail. The artistry exhibited in the devilmanship is extraordinary, as the artist adeptly crafts enchanting and hypnotic compositions encompassing a diverse range of tones, musical arrangements, and vocal styles. The music radiates a profound emotional depth, characterized by dynamic riffs, intricate tremolo pickings, powerful drumming, and a vocal delivery that seamlessly transitions between poignant cries, haunting whispers, aggressive growls, and clear, evocative vocals.

Within the music’s walls, the listener will encounter acoustic and piano/synth sections that add a layer of darkness and complexity, further captivating the listener with its depth and intricacy. This level of dedication and passion from the artist makes the music so powerful and engaging, and it’s a testament to his commitment to his craft.

Entzweiung is a (again) forbidden fruit of art release. The album’s thematic content refers to a state of being torn apart, a disintegration of the self, a central theme in the album’s exploration of the human psyche and emotions.

The album comes to an end with the last song, Dance of Uncreation. We want to give a shoutout to Infestus for letting us review his album, Entzweiung. Now, we are going to conclude the review by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
