Dephosphorus: Night Sky Transform

Greek trio Dephosphorus’s second full-length Night Sky Transform contains elements of grindcore, death metal, black metal, sludge, noise rock and post-hardcore—the blending of all being highly dexterous and original. The album’s conceptual arc tackled big ideas. Gazing into the cosmos, Dephosphorus asked deep questions about our place in the universe, wrapping that inquiry around grinding, angular and aggressive tunes that rapidly shifted tempo and veered off to encompass those myriad metallic styles. Underpinning all was an evolving search for meaning that fearlessly ignored genre and defied categorization, with the band harnessing whatever tools it required to investigate the unknowable. Innovation and introspection were the keys to Night Sky Transform‘s attraction. Dephosphorus had impressed with,Axiom, its astro-grinding debut, but Night Sky Transformwasn’t so much a ‘one small step’ forward, more a ‘giant leap’. From production, arrangement and delivery to its meteoric impact, Night Sky Transform was imaginative and intelligent, melding philosophic and scientific uncertainties into formidable and inventive action.

Dephosphorus – Night sky transform
Pendant que la Grèce croule sous les dettes, les musiciens de Dephosphorus tirent de cette frustration un mélange entre black metal, grindcore et sludge corrosif qui en appelle à la fois à Darkthrone et à Unearthly Trance. En deux disques, l’évolution de ce trio en a fait l’une des valeurs montante à surveiller de très prêt quand on en juge par les qualités hypnotique d’Aurora, le morceau de conclusion. Parmi tout les groupes rétro, la voix de Dephosphorus s’élève bien haut comme une clameur de contestation en allant vers un avenir inclassable mais toujours extrême.

We are extremely honored of your support and appreciation guys…

Dephosphorus –
Night Sky Transform

Whoa baby. While everyone’s been oo’ing and ah’ing over last year’sAxiom it wasn’t until Night Sky Transform that I became absolutely OBSESSED with this band. Grindcore without any boundaries, Night Sky Transform showcases immense songwriting, great lyrics, and an awesome mood. P//S Review

Alright, I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been flopping it with listening to all the killer albums this year (maybe not as bad as Pitchfork) but here’s the album that will totally redeem myself.  Dephosphorus are a Greek clusterfuck of Grindcore, Post-Hardcore, and Black Metal, and it works beautifully.  This is a brutal and honest record that’s available on Bandcamp, as well as their first LP.  Could not recommend this album enough, this reminds me of the As We Draw, Alpinist, and Castevet LPs that I had on repeat in high school, if those albums had been drawn and quartered by Fuck the Facts.
