Antillia

Artificial Brain have released their fourth album, “Antillia”, four years after their self-titled third record. The review describes it as an assured, distinctive work that makes the band’s unusual blend of extreme metal more concise and accessible, while retaining the dissonance and experimentation that have built their reputation.

Across 43 minutes, the album moves between brutal, angular passages and more expansive, atmospheric sections, with clear production bringing out its details. The review highlights the opening “The Wandering Star Prion”, the compact “Obsidian Agents” and the closing title track, which it sees as both a culmination of the album’s sound and a hint at the band’s future direction.
