about

'Through Union Of The Insoluble....

...I Bring You To Misery'

Completely improvised, recorded in two halves, in two nights, the first in November 2015, the second in October 2016.

The drums were recorded first followed by guitars, bass then vocals, one full take of each, without listening to the previous layers.

EFX were added spontaneously after the tracking, being manually manipulated and recorded to add another level of organic, instinctive noise.

The recordings are in chronological order, with some noise between tracks taken out for the sake of running time.

Press:
"...there really hasn’t been a work like this that comes even close to what this band has accomplished within this monstrous 25-track work... as it truly embodies some of the bleakest ideals of what extreme metal is capable of in some of its most integral forms when it comes to artistic expression, and it’s through such that MRTVI has achieved what very few are competent to execute...
...I cannot express just how rare a work like this"
- Head-Banger Reviews

"...thus, this savage masterwork is borne of two opposing elements coming together. Damjan fearlessly allowing his dark subconscious free rein, constructing two separate works joined as one to create a new expression – his purest self in musical form and the true, raw, primal sound of MRTVI."
- Black Metal Daily

Triptych

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more. Ghuughra

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 6 fans who also own “Autology: The Shadow Work”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
