Kassad conveys an all-encompassing sense of existential terror and claustrophobic anxiety that hits you and builds to a crescendo before everything descends into dread and finally nothingness. The misery, futility, and madness of modern urban life combining abrasive and gritty black metal with hallucinatory ambience and spiralling post-rock intricacy. The new album centers around modern urban living (and looks to a near future of megacities) where the city itself is a personified, malevolent being where human empathy and culture have been replaced by artificial intelligence.
Much like Kassad’s first full-length “Faces Turn Away”, “London Orbital” will be presented in an eco-sleeve accompanied with a minimalist booklet. We will also be printing a limited amount of t-shirts specifically for this release which we will revealing the artwork for soon!
