The eight sonically and lyrically immersive songs on Kardashev‘s Alunea album have set yet another high-water mark for the dynamic lineup. Known as the progenitors of the “deathgaze” genre, that descriptor is evolving as Kardashev continually explores and pushes boundaries. “Words you could use to describe our music are ‘atmospheric, progressive, emotional, dynamic, and contrast,’” explains drummer Sean Lang. “Our music attempts to sonically portray the emotions of anger and sorrow which creates a palpable but natural dynamic contrast.

Guitarist Nico Mirolla concurs, but adds, “The Almanac and The Baring of Shadows were the beginning of our development into the ‘gaze’ side of Deathgaze, as we were already pretty well known for the sonic similarities to Death Metal, but with Alunea, we’re coming closer to progressive death metal, with leanings in the ‘gaze’ only momentarily.” For his part, Garrett finds the new music more prog-leaning. “Alunea has much more experimentation when compared to previous releases. It’s a very proggy album.”
