Acausal Intrusion are a duo from the United States that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an atmospheric and technical mixture of black, doom and death emtal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Pansychism" which will b e released in September by I, Voidhanger Records.
Dark soundscapes and field recordings start off the album while one song also introduces clean playing onto the album which also returns on later songs before going into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the vocals are mostly deep and cavernous death metal growls.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in t he slower sections of the songs while the music also has its atmospheric and technical moments. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats are also utilized along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the music also getting very brutal sounding at times as well as some tracks also mixing in a small amount of black metal screams, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing and the album closes with an avant garde orientated piano instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Chaos, Occultism, Cosmic Horror and Lovecraftian themes..
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Acausal Intrusion and if you are a f an of atmospheric and technical black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Encoded Hexagrams" "The Inward Seperation" and "Molecular Entanglement". 8 out of 10.
