Dodecahedron are a Dutch collective that seem rather intent on dethroning France as the epicenter of forward thinking avant black metal. This slab of bad acid trip apocalyptic reckoning is as clear a mission statement as I've heard in quite a while. Many in the black metal community would consider what Dodecahedron, Deathspell, and Blut do as part of the "third wave" of black metal. Forgoing most of what would be considered "orthodox" in favor of a sound that in my opinion is far more complex and often far more frightening, these "third wavers" are pushing their genre to some pretty awesome places. Whether they're delivering riff after vicious riff or descending in to the deepest reaches of the human Psyche, Dodecahedron play with absolute conviction and force. They have arrived and everyone should take notice. Thoroughly impressed... early contender for my year end list.
