Ehnahre - Taming the Cannibals

2010 sophomore album from the Avant Black/Death/Doom Metal band. Taming the Cannibals is one of the more cerebral and challenging Death Metal albums to come out this year. Featuring former members of Prog/Gothic art-rockers Kayo Dot and Avant-Death Metalists Biolich, the Boston-based group unleashes extreme chaotic dissonance and pitch-black chthonic textures-a combination of atonal 20th-century classical music and vicious blackened death laced with stretches of intense choral ambience and blasts of calcifying, glacial doom. Ehnahre creates some of the most difficult death metal out there, but balances the relentlessly unpredictable arrangements with seething aggression and crushing riffage.
