Back in stock.

This six-song EP from Polish avant-garde grinders Antigama came out around the same time as their blistering split with jazz-blasters Psychofagist last year, a quick blast of ferocious angular grindcore that was the band's first new offering after a nearly three year hiatus that followed their last album (2009's Warning) and their subsequent departure from Relapse Records. Throughout the past decade, Antigama have carved out their own ugly, industrialized take on modern grindcore, blending together a set of influences that ranged from Voivod's spaced-out prog thrash and the pummeling discordance of prime-era Godflesh with a kind of cold, atonal sound unique to the Polish extreme metal underground, and this fifteen minute EP showcases their latest excursion into jagged, discordant grindcore and subtle experimentation. Tracks like "E Conspectu" and "The Law" rip through complex atonal riffs and arrangements that twist and careen through their ever-shifting time signatures and almost industrial-like blasts, at times echoing some of the more industrial influenced moments found on Napalm Death's more recent albums. Antigama bring a colder, more machine-like feel to this sort of grindcore assault though, a definite Voivod-like vibe running through their sound, the lurching riffs and discordant chords interlocking into mechanical forms while swells of robotic choral voices, electronic textures and eerie droning vocals well up out of the background. The title track is one of the standouts, a longer, more complex ripper where the band's 'Vod influence really shines through, and the mecha-lurch of "Find The Function" equally kills with it's bursts of crushing crusty hardcore. On "Intricate Trap", the drumming showcases some intense polyrhythmic weirdness that offsets the song's monstrous grooves, but when they reach the instrumental closer "The End", the music makes an sudden and abrupt tonal shift into a kind of lush soundtrack-style electronic music, a killer piece of Tangerine Dream-influenced mood-music that resembles something off of one of their more rock tinged scores from the late 80s (think Near Dark or Miracle Mile) being fused to sheets of droning distorted guitar feedback and distant metallic rumble. I could easily have listened to a whole album of that.
