2011 release from multi-instrumentalist Andrew Markuszewski (AKA Avichi), a member of Nachtmystium and Lord Mantis and one of America's most prominent Black Metal musicians. Their sophomore album, the Devil's Fractal, follows 2007's the Divine Tragedy debut and is among the most important underground US Metal releases of 2011. a concept album retelling the history of Lucifer in seven chapters, the Devil's Fractal offers a gaze upon the world through the eyes of the adversary. This dark and sinister journey through the realms of progressive, intricately structured Black Metal is comparable to the likes of Deathspell Omega and other revered acts of the genre's pantheon. With the Devil's Fractal, Markuszewski delivers a stunning opus that captures, musically, lyrically and aesthetically, the true essence of Black Metal.
