Today, Amor Fati Productions, in conspiracy with Extraconscious Records, announces March 20th as the international release date Acathexis' highly anticipated second album, Immerse, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Sometimes in a band's history, there's a moment where the calm comes after the storm – when their first output burns brightly, making itself almost impossible to compete with. To simply repeat it would be a mistake, so it's time to change. A significant change, but not in the core of the music, just a change in tonalities, from harsh to smooth, from pained to beautiful…
This is not the case with Acathexis.
Jake, Dany, and Déhà return with their searing style of atmospheric black metal. Like the ebb and flow of the human experience, light-speed blastbeats interweave with introspective passages to express a flurry of emotions and energy, with heartrending screams, harsh guitars that veil solemnity, produced triumphantly but with the mark of each member imprinted clearly upon it. They haven’t changed, and they have much more to say with the sound which has become their signature.
Produced between their three studios in Argentina, USA, and Belgium, the intercontinental band managed another tour de force with distance and discipline that, six years later, makes Acathexis a band that is more than just the coalition of members behind Mare Cognitum, Los Males del Mundo, or Silver Knife, but a beast of its own.
