Album Review: Unendlich – Paradox Of A Broken World (Self Released)
After two years of brooding, Maryland-based black metal outfit Unendlich will unleash their fury upon the masses with their ferocious new LP – Paradox of a Broken World. Paradox of a Broken World juxtaposes the impending doom of a world coming undone at its seams with the consistent need for humans to deny their own reality.
Inspired by one-man Black Metal bands, Unendlich is the sole creation of multi-instrumentalist Michael Connors. Paradox of a Broken World will be released on July 9th, 2021.
An unequivocally blistering mugging of black metal, Unendlich are taking no prisoners on this new album. From the first track; the unrestrained savagery of Wisdom of Suffering to the final mental battering that is the title track, this is an album that doesn’t stop swinging.
So, if you like feeling like you’ve been beaten to a pulp, this is the album for you but what about if you want to feel some impact but for it not to be totally unrelenting? Well, Unendlich have you covered on that front too. As throughout Paradox of a Broken World, the incredible solo artist showcases layers. Rhythmic layers that proudly show off an array of inspired riffs, clever sounding drum patterns, subtle and sparingly used effects, guitar soloing and more.
It’s a bit crazy to listen too and it certainly isn’t going to be for everyone but you can see how it might have wider appeal then your ‘stock’ black metal. Even though it has to be repeated again and again that this is still a seriously savage listen. The howling and scowling vocals make that perfectly clear.
It’s just nice to hear other things going on and it makes it a wholly more interesting listen. One with a ton more longevity because of that.
