The international four-piece, collectively hailing from Istanbul and Berlin, are intent on using their years of experience in the heaviest music scenes to push at the boundaries of contemporary metal. By mixing classic death-metal aggression and with cutting-edge production and processing techniques, Bipolar Architecture have created a balance of sound that is raw, frenzied and extreme whilst nuanced, refined and pliable.
If ‘Depressionland’ was a distillation of Bipolar Architecture’s signature sonics though, 2024’s sophomore album ‘Metaphysicize’ is alchemical gold. Still determined to drive at the bleeding edge of extreme metal, ‘Metaphysicize’ uses the existentialist, introspective themes of ‘Depressionland’ as fuel for an even deeper, more haunting exploration of the human condition. Tracks such as ‘Immor(t)al’ and ‘Dysphoria’ resound with a musical maturity and patience testament to experience gained and lessons learned, whilst ‘Disillusioned’ and ‘Alienated’ shake with all the full-throttle, apocalyptic indignation of the band’s blackened metal origins.
