AGRIMONIA: Third LP
Out Now On Southern Lord, Streaming At Invisible
Oranges
Gothenburg metal
outfit AGRIMONIA�s third LP Rites Of Separation is out now worldwide
via Southern Lord, band�s first release for the label.
Following releases on
Skuld Records, Profane Existence and others, AGRIMONIA hooked up with Southern Lord
in mid-2012, after which they embarked on the recording sessions for their label
debut Rites Of Separation. Mixed by
Fredrik Nordstrom at Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Opeth, Arch Enemy), Rites Of Separation takes AGRIMONIA�s diverse and damaging alloy
of metallic influences to more expansive realms than ever, its five sprawling
tracks encompassing an hour, and the band�s crustpunk ethos delivered through
grating, doom-filled riffs and post-metal voids, merging influence from a realm
of influences possibly including Damad, Pelican, Crisis, Bolt Thrower and
Nausea.

�Though the personnel of members of
Martyrd�d, Skitsystem and At the Gates may indicate a certain aesthetic,
Gothenburg�s Agrimonia are truly emblematic of the term eclectic... the band
uses solo piano/guitar, touches of industrial and ambiance to let more intense
passages of death metal, sludge/doom, black metal, post-rock and crust breathe.�
- Invisible Oranges
�There
are massive solos and full moments of silence, death metal croaks and pleasant
harmonies in the distance.� - Pitchfork
"Agrimonia
are a very angry band, but the shades of light and beauty that seep from the
cracks of their filth are where they truly shine. This nether region between
light and dark is a compositional tool Agrimonia wield powerfully and with
purpose." - No Clean Singing
�The
length of the songs allows the members of Agrimonia to venture into quite a few
dark places, and with good results... The band's musicianship is beyond stellar.
