Exit

With AGRYPNIE, ex-Nocte Obducta singer Torsten again prises open the limits of conventional black metal and creates a cold piece of music that leaves enough room for varied interpretations. Emotional moments combined with the pure aggression of blast parts based on extraordinary varied drumming. With this album you get involved in a more than one hour lasting journey through atmospheric soundscapes which are created by deranged and unheard-of arrangements. The cold face of AGRYPNIE is also revealed by the according lyrics which are thematizing interpersonal paradigms. History: In the beginning AGRYPNIE was originated by Torsten as a solo project and as a refuge for his song ideas long before the well-known avantgarde black metal institution Nocte Obducta parted ways. After the break up of Nocte Obducta and the Split EP with the German death metal outfit Fated, AGRYPNIE grew from a solo project to a serious band, which is proved by the first full length album “F51.4”. With its cold atmosphere, the debut has casted a spell over many listeners. Torsten and his new live musicians stage-managed this extraordinary atmosphere on carefully selected concerts. At this point the sequel “Exit” was already in the making. Due to the completion of the line-up, „Exit“ has a much more “organic” sound compared to the debut “F51.4”, where Thorsten made use of a drum computer. With “Exit”, AGRYPNIE continue the legacy where Nocte Obducta left the path of atmospheric, innovative black metal.
