Geryon - The Wound and The Bow

2016 release. New York avant-garde technical prog/death metal two piece Geryon is comprised of one half of Krallice: Nicholas McMaster and Lev Weinstein. Employing simply bass guitar, drums and vocals, the pair conjures complex layers of meticulously crafted tones, maintaining a volatile equilibrium of dissonance and melody. Pulling from their work in Krallice as well as their time spent in Astomatous (the Chicago band McMaster and Weinstein had in the mid-'00s), the duo strips their chaotic sound to its bare minimum elements. The Wound And The Bow, a follow up to 2013's self-titled debut, is an enveloping listen-a bizarre, twisted and ultimately unforgettable sonic journey lead by two fearless sonic explorers.
