dlberes First time in a while I’ve just sat with my eyes closed studying some new music. Really wild and fun. Almost missed my subway stop. Favorite track: Slithering Serendipity.

Nuclear Girl Qrixkuor have evolved their sound, which was previously unique but not fully realised, and created an utterly monstrous and captivating symphony of roiling mayhem. Jaded Lungs' contributions are intimidating as always, and the orchestral unit allows the soundscape to grow exponentially wider. Cosmic in a fascinating and terrifying manner! Favorite track: And You Shall Know Perdition As Your Shrine....

Jørgen Nightmarish serpentine black/death metal from Qrixkuor, who once again push the boundaries of extreme music while honouring its most important traditions. A celestial kaleidoscope of decaying stars... Favorite track: And You Shall Know Perdition As Your Shrine....

Lidgy This is what it sounds like when you're tryna have a cheeky bathtime snack and your toaster suddenly falls into the tub cus the demon you bound to this mortal realm is tired of you not sharing the gosh dang snackies. Also the tub is full of liquid psilocybin and various swamp juices. Then you wake up to realize you dont even know what a toaster is. It's 1456 and you swear to never eat the ones off the cow patties again. You did this exact thing 2 times last week.

ramon_oriol I liked Poison Palinopsia but Zoetrope not that much. The reason I'm here raving immediately is because this is ON ANOTHER FUCKING LEVEL ALTOGETHER!!! The Womb of the World sounds like music that matters, that is trascendental, that shoots directly to the silent stars! Both the band and the orchestra do an excellent job and sound seamless and as the definitive package! This release is MORE than one of the AOTYs, but I'm afraid it will go largely unnoticed despite the hard work put into it. Favorite track: So Spoke the Silent Stars.

about

Here, in the blood’s inferno…
in the bitterness of each cell…
in the shudder of your nerves…

QRIXKUOR surface once more to bring the crepuscular whispers of 2021’s Poison Palinopsia LP and 2022’s Zoetrope EP to a roaring, terrifying and triumphant crowning crescendo with their 2nd full-length album, entitled The Womb of the World, to be released on Friday 7th November by Invictus Productions in Europe and Dark Descent Records in the USA.

Once again recorded, mixed and mastered on familiar ground at Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, England by Greg Chandler (ESOTERIC) and emblazoned with a much-expanded outer and inner gatefold piece by Zoetrope artist-extraordinaire Santiago Caruso (as well as additional insert art contributed by Nuno Zuki), The Womb of the World further defies the dogmas of death and black metal by dragging them deeper still into the depths of textural and timbral delirium, more so than its predecessors even dared fathom, augmented throughout its 4 chapters by the sinistrous siren song of The Orchestra of the Silent Stars. The venomous tongues of guest-contributor slithering serendipity herself Jaded fucking Lungs (ADORIOR) maniacally guide And You Shall Know Perdition As Your Shrine into the album’s eponymous climax, a tumultuous ending in fire certain to be the apotheosis of QRIXKUOR’s vision to date.

The Womb of the World is the echo of time tearing itself apart, a dauntless deliverance of dissolution. Perhaps now the seas can be still at last…

"Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
