Kardashev often find ways to blend the stark and brutal world of death metal into the beautiful and empathetic. We take time to develop and design music that evokes a range of emotions while also revealing the beauty of heavy music. Similar to this process, we have begun to develop products that lend themselves into a similar cadence.
