Anabiosis EP

Released in late 2015, Anabiosis EP represents a significant departure from the raw black metal associated with the Krypt moniker in other contexts, pivoting instead toward the deep, atmospheric realms of Dub Techno and Drum n Bass. The EP is defined by its long-form compositions, particularly the eleven-minute centerpiece 'Singular,' which allows textures to develop with glacial slowness. The inclusion of the 'Planars Interpretation' suggests a connection to the deeper, more experimental side of the electronic underground. Sonically, the record favors high-fidelity digital precision and heavy use of spatial effects to create a sense of immense scale. While the artist's roots may lie in the grit of Norwegian metal, this release applies that same sense of darkness and intensity to an electronic framework, resulting in a cold, immersive, and highly technical listening experience that sits comfortably alongside the output of labels like Basic Channel or Chain Reaction.
