Emerging from the serpentine susurrus left in the
wake of last year’s monstrous two-part epic Poison
Palinopsia, Qrixkuor
swiftly rise again to present a new EP titled Zoetrope -
a single black arrow of death sent straight to the heart of the world - to be
released on CD and tape formats on November 18th, joined in darkness again by Invictus Productions in
Europe and Dark Descent Records in
the USA, with the vinyl version to follow in mid-2023.
Returning to Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, England, to record, mix,
and master the track with the acclaimed Greg Chandler and with cover art this
time contributed by the extraordinary Santiago Caruso, the textural approach
of Zoetrope dilates the divine
eye of death metal to unmapped dimensions, dispatching a boot to the face of
the idea that its marriage with symphonic timbres must be synonymous with
floral harmonies backed by sterile production and performed by lifeless sample
libraries. Zoetrope is majestic, but any
beauty has long since withered, and what remains is the discordant dirge of Qrixkuor's cacophonous duet
with the Orchestra of the Eternal Return.
Zoetrope is an ode to the
terror of the cyclic infinite - the endless, silent scream of a mind that has
wandered so far that it cannot return. The soul that burns on everlasting, each
thousand-year journey the mere blink of an eye. There is no escape…
In the meantime, hear an excerpt of Zoetrope HERE.
