1 track, 46 mins. 4th album from Washington's premier freemetal power duo. An infectious blur of pummelling endurance + prickling electricity. Think Tony Conrad chasing a bee!

With their new album on Ipecac the band finally embrace repetition, making a drastic departure from this previous work. By turning their unrelenting sound on its head, the duo's astonishing feats of musical skill and acuity become magnified through stamina and subtle evolution. While metal still undeniably influences this music, the new recording equally evokes music from the Middle East and the early minimalism of Tony Conrad. Whatever comes next for Orthrelm is anyone's guess, but one thing is for sure, it will be utterly unpredictable.
